My family has used the Cook Hospital in 20 years twice. Both times were non- emergency. We go to Virginia (hubby), Mr Iron, Hibbing, or the Mayo in Rochester. We have excellent health insurance through out employers. We are not a burden on any health care facility. If Cook's financial needs are not met by it's geographic patients, that seems to be an issue of it's population's income and poor insurance coverage. To demand that Greenwood and other outlying areas cover your shortfalls is ridiculous. Perhaps if the hospital were a non-profit, Greenwood residents near Cook could donate $ that would be tax deductible?
