Dear Neighbors,
We want you to be aware of proposed legislation that would dramatically harm how every Delaware hospital operates - HB 350, the “Hospital Cost Review Board” bill.
The bill strips authority from your local community leader boards and puts five political appointees in charge of spending, staffing, cost of service, investments and every other key function of hospital operations.
We take seriously the challenge of maintaining access to high-quality healthcare while keeping it affordable for the patients and communities we serve. We also know that insurers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies and others all have a role to play in solving affordability.
Political appointees taking over hospitals alone will hurt, not help, Delaware.
Please consider asking lawmakers to oppose a politician takeover of our critically important community hospitals by using the following link to send an email and/or a tweet with just a few clicks. Contact your legislators

Delaware lawmakers want to put political appointees in charge of your health care. They’re considering a bill to create a board to decide and limit what care hospitals can provide, what equipment they can buy and how many doctors and nurses they can hire.
