[Mrs. Don-o]

This had nothing to do with “federal or state money.” The legislation applied to all hospitals without exception. State tyranny pure and simple.

[Clemenza]

The only way this law is enforceable is if the hospital in question receives state money (even if through state-managed Medicaid). This is why they must comply.

You accept money from Uncle Sam (or, in this case, Uncle Jimmy Doyle), expect it to come with strings. Yet another argument against vouchers lost on the collar and cassock brigade.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I doubt that, but since there is no such thing in this country as a hospital that doesn’t get taxpayer funding, it’s rather a moot point. The issue of government forcing all medical care under a socialist umbrella is what we should be worried about.
