Cancer Treatment Centers....

Incorporated, is lobbying the Tea Partei dominated New Hampshire State Legislature to establish a chain of boutique hospitals in Southern NH and grab off a bit of the high end healthcare trade from Metro Boston.
Fair enough, I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that there is no shortage of sick people or monied persons who want expensive elective surgery.
I think it is plainly appalling though, to think that New Hampshire's much praised "citizen state legislature" is jumping thru hoops of fire to please "Cancer Treatment Centers Incorporated" at a time when New Hampshire no longer has a worthwhile Veteran's Hospital of any kind.
You'd think these worthies in Concord, these pious puritan citizen legislators would be working 24-7 to get such a institution reopened, especially in a time of war when new veterans disabled and otherwise are being generated every day.
You'd think, Senator Kelly Ayotte that energetic young woman with an opinion about everything would be banging the pots for a full service Veteran's Hospital.
Nope.
Nothing.
Silence.
Shee-it folks, I wanna live in a country where the combat veterans have lobbyists at least as powerful the one's employed by "Cancer Treatment Centers Incorporated" is that so much to ask?
