St. John makes offer to take over OSUMC

Yes St. Francis is weak, the only thing they were about to do was take the residents away from OSU Med. Ctr. Not a real good rescue. I am not the only one who feels this way. Just move the services further south and the poor have no way to get to healthcare.

And yes, I do think the wealthy should help when things are getting rough. For the most part they are out of touch and have no idea how tough life can be when money is a serious object. They take things for granted and other people have to scrape by just moving paycheck to paycheck.

Basically there are millions of people who are one paycheck away from living under a bridge. That's the kind of things the wealthy can help with.Unfortunately money makes the world go round. Most people just struggle to eat every day. One meal at a time. What tomorrow brings, well we'll see tomorrow.


Not deadbeats, just selfish and greedy. Their world barely moves beyond the tip of their noses.

One time I needed help in a financial bind and the councelor asked me if I could ask my parents for money. "NO" They don't have any. Can you ask a Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent, Sister, Brother?   "NO" "Noone I know has any money." There is no lifeline on our lives. No rich uncle. No Grandparent with money. NO ONE!!

If I lose my job today and am unable to find one within a month, it's under a bridge for me and my kids. That's what it's like to have no money or resources. Most wealthy people have not got a CLUE!!! They can help and should. They should also pay more taxes. Maybe just the same percentage as the working poor. The poor don't have deductions to write off, they only get the standard deduction. No tax breaks for them. Just pay it all.

There's my rant. I feel better.


Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that's mine.

P.S. I have a college education. In case you were wondering.

What kind of plasma/lcd TV do you have?

Long answer: The entire Northeastern portion of the state is being bent over Ned Beatty style and made to squeal while the real pigs in OKC reap the benefits of our tax dollars because our state representatives are weenies.

And in my perfect world Green Country would be it's own state to avoid this. One can dream

They tried, although it wasn't aligned with Green Country per se; it would have left off the City....

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This has turned into a REAL HOT topic between the two of you.

I agree with Tim. St Francis is weak and St John stepped up and jumped in and helped really helped fix the indigent care problem we were dealing with "North of 61st" !![:O]


I LOVE IT!!!!

[:O]

So St. Francis is now "weak" because it would not bail out OSU Med but St. John's did. As for this being a "REAL HOT topic", it really is not because I believe something had to be done to save OSU Med. It's a hot topic because some people in this forum feel that the wealthy are required to give money to all causes and, if they do not, they are labeled essentially as deadbeats.

Saint Francis of Mercedes vs. St. John of the Poor! Ha ha!

Now, the Warrens have only been gracious and generous, and are not deserving of mean-spirited attacks.  I just think it is funny that the heir of the Warren fortune saw fit to take a public stand on 'The Channels' as a public health issue but TRMC closing - not so much.
