I expect such from Buddy, but what happened to Rich?!

I read in today's Orlando Sentinel that city mayor Buddy Dyer and county mayor Rich Crotty have signed a joint letter "welcoming" a Nemours Clinic for Children in Lake Nona.

But, they inserted what is being termed a "poison pill" in the verbage.

Basically, they don't want Nemours duplicating any of the services currently being provided downtown at ORMC's Arnold Palmer Hospital.

Maybe, I've been too indoctrinated in the principals of free market capitalism here, but doesn't this smack of an anti-trust law violation?!

I expect such socialist crap and nonsense from Dumbocrat Dyer. But, what happend to Rich Crotty?!

I mean, I actually voted for this guy because I assumed his affiliation with the Republican Party meant something.

Deeply disappointing.

What neither of these "public servants" seem to understand is that competition drives down (or at least restrains) costs for consumers.

And, if there's one area where costs NEED to be held down it's in the field of medical services.

Boneheads!

If ORMC's so great, let them go toe-to-toe with Nemours! Keep the politics out of it, and let the market decide!
