White House Health Plan Session
|
Over the past two years, I have chaired the National Association of Counties' Hospital
Task Force, studying the challenges affecting the delivery of quality
health services for public hospitals. After my recent presentation of our findings to the Healthcare Reform Group developing policy recommendations, I was asked to attend a meeting at
the White House to participate further in the discussion.
I flew out to Washington, DC on Monday to meet with
White House administrators and represent the County perspective
as White House staff began drafting the President's healthcare reform
policy. It is
critical that the suburban voice be heard as the changes that are being
considered will impact our communities.
County governments operate
the safety net hospitals. Without these programs, existing resources would
be stressed, increasing wait times and decreasing services. The
bottom line is, if the county safety net infrastructure is compromised
the impact on the private hospitals and our local communities would be devastating. |
Proposed Precinct Changes
|
|
At today's board meeting, the County Clerk
proposed the elimination of 350 voting precincts under the jurisdiction
of the Cook County Election Department, changing the total number from 2,290
to 1,940. More than half of these precincts share a polling place
with other precincts.
This proposal is intended to reduce costs associated
with the Judges of Elections, equipment programming, equipment delivery
and polling place rental fees. A public hearing on the proposed changes will be held prior to July 21st. We will update you when the date for the public hearing is set so you have the opportunity to voice your opinion..
