Time is again running out to send your comments to DHEC. The deadline is the second half of February 2011.
There are new claims that Piedmont will generate $400 Million in revenue, but the figures are very obscure.
1. Piedmont talks about the 36 more beds they will have. Those are beds that Rock Hill will lose from their hospital.
2. Piedmont plans on expanding to 260 bed, but DHEC has said Fort Mill only needs 64 beds. That is just false advertising.
3. Why does a 64-Slice CT scanner cost Piedmont $650,000 more than CMC?
4. Yes, Piedmont will pay property taxes if there isn't any shady deals like the former York County Hospital has. Let me ask this simple question, Who really pays Piedmont's tax? Is it really Tenet or the patients that pay for services at the hospital?
5. Who says there won't be any developments that spring up near other hospitals other than Piedmont?
It seems like any hospital has the potential to generate nearly $400 million if it were a perfect world. If it were a perfect work, Fort Mill would still have 2 amusement parks.
