Yep. The ACHD (Association of Community Hospital DISTRICTS) is a tax-payer subsidized cash cow to promote more socialism...
A Healthcare District is a community owned and operated district, established by local voters, and run by elected (usually volunteer) directors. If the voters don't like it they can vote the whole thing out of existance. A few years ago, when our hospital neared bankruptcy because of mismanagement and general problems facing ALL hospitals EVERYWHERE, the voters chose to tax themselves - by a more than 2/3rds margin - rather than allow it to close.
ACHD represents all such districts in Sacramento. It is a lobbying group. I have attended its meetings. I have lobbied. It is funded in part at least by its members. Many who serve do so voluntarily.
It is democracy at its best. I don't know who you think you are to slander it so freely. An ignoramous certainly...and I'm being very, very generous.
