Sacramento may take a role in running of hospitals

The Sacramento Bee has another great moment in creeping socialism:

In an unusual move that has rocked the local hospital community, the Sacramento City Council is poised to stretch its approval authority over construction projects to include the way large medical facilities spend money and care for patients.

Under the plan, the council would go beyond a typical examination of whether a proposed medical facility poses environmental, traffic or other impacts. Added to its considerations would be nine "community benefit principles" that range from collection practices to labor issues.

The plan was drafted by a coalition of religious leaders, social-justice activists and representatives from the Service Employees International Union and the Sacramento Central Labor Council.

The morons that run Sacramento want to let a bunch of union bosses run the hospitals.Read the whole thing,politics may end up literally killing you.
