How can there be "uncertainty about the health care industry"? In a decent society everyone gets their health care needs met. The only variable, surely, is the size of the population. If the health care needs of people in this area are not being met, there's no uncertainty. The fact that health care is an "industry" is where the problem lies, and that is, of course, subject to the vagaries of the economy. Health care should be a basic right for all people, not an industry.

I knew this medical center was a bad idea. Sutter's in it for the money and not the patient. I wish the City of San Carlos would have done their homework.

Building a State of the Art Hospital next to Polution generating Highway 101, directly below the Helicopter Flyzone, kity corner to an airport, and having the major access roads inaccessible due to being in a flood zone is an excellent idea!!!!!
