To the editor:
My dad works at Kingstree hospital and I pray that the state makes the right decision to rebuild. [NEWS: Rural South Carolina hospitals close, more threatened] This will cause lots of families to not be able to provide properly not only for their families but also the people in the area.
Gov. Nikki Haley, please make saving our rural hospitals a must. This hospital has been around for many years and needs to stay. Please don’t make the wrong decision and put lots of families in a bind. Thank you for what you do and will continue to do to keep people in jobs!
— Heather Andrews, Florence, S.C.
To the editor:
[Former Gov. Mark] Sanford started the refusal [of Medicaid expansion money]. Haley understands — one day the feds will decide to tax us back for free money. Nothing is free. When the federal government wants payback, will S.C. taxpayers be exempt because we didn’t take the cookie?
— Dennis Powers, Cope, S.C.
