National Hospital, Healthcare & Politics

Politics | Healthcare | Hospitals | Resources

Has national healthcare and politics played into the Oneida County hospital story? Medicaid redesign nationally, and within New York State, is real and unprecedented changes are impacting Utica's Hospitals.

National politics and healthcare are troubling for many. We believe most would agree our healthcare system and costs are very significant issues. Our group is about seeking answers; the studies and hard facts of what the Utica Hospital story is really about.

The following conversation will highlight national headlines that may be playing a role in this local story.

February 20, 2018 - Introduction paragraph with a local tie-in here (state national issue and a possible connect to our regional, local healthcare/hospital story)

Stupid is as stupid does. @NoHospitalDwtn Addicts die young and don't vote.... @rich_purtell While alive the STATE makes bank on them in a service based economy. @KingAndrewCuomo https://t.co/IBpkRQviXF

Hospitals do not Rebuild Neighborhoods, not the ones the Yes Side has offered us. Many "old" hospitals are NOT abandoned. Utica is a poor city with Significant Issues, the hospital as an economic development tool is troubling. While healthcare should not be political, it also seems that the community should have a say on such a massive project, especially one relaying so heavily on taxpayers.

Please join our group #NoHospitalDowntown and add to our conversation. We are not anti-new hospital, we simply do not want their hospital concept in Downtown Utica. Here's Why We Oppose The Downtown Utica Hospital Concept and Many Agree!
