MONROE-- Emotions spilled over as people hurled accusations at one another over a proposed hospital sale or lease extension.Since the sale of CMC-Union is playing such an important role in delaying CMC-Waxhaw, I figured it'd be worth mentioning. I'm not particularly impressed with the article as it makes no attempt to detail the "half-truths and outright lies" to which it refers so take it for what it's worth.
Commissioners expressed frustration over half-truths and outright lies; area residents demanded that commissioners not sell the hospital and candidates energized a crowd of about two dozen who filled a county board of commissioners meeting, angry at a potential sale of Carolinas Medical Center - Union.
On a side note, Mark DiBiasio (I link to his Village Scribe site in my sidebar) is taking quite the active role in pushing his point of view, but it was clear he's injected himself into this story long ago even if you skim his blog or the Union County Health Care Watch site he set up. He was apparently the only speaker arguing for the sale, so is quoted extensively in the article.
I'm still looking for a reasonable explanation of this whole mess. Something akin to an Idiot's Guide, but from a relaiable narrator of course.
