I should pull up my rotten tomato picture and toss it toward the state capitol which has no capital to pay its bills at present. Fairfield Community Hospital is owed $2.8 million dollars by the state. A local pharmacy closed its doors last week after some 80 years in business because the state was not reimbursing them. They could float for a while by dipping into savings, but no longer. They were bought by CVS. And our governor, who is running for re-election, has just foisted an even more expansive healthcare program onto the backs of healthcare providers which it can't fund anymore than it is funding existing programs. What a farce and what a tragedy for rural hospitals, physicians and pharmacists.
