A few corrections needed.92% of the Hospital District Tax provides a fund to help islanders pay their hospital bills. This was set up in a early amendment to the contract between the district and PIMC to help islanders.
The $50,000 recently carved out from the hospital tax is also to be used for islander needs per the Third Amendment to the Subsidy Agreement.
Women's reproductive care is currently provided by PIMC contracted providers, San Juan Healthcare, our County Health Department and PP. No deficits in women's healthcare are identified in our community. Abortion can not be safely performed in our rural community so take it out of the equation.
There are however other healthcare needs in our community that are not provided by PIMC and therefore do not conflict with the Hospital District Contract with PIMC. Don't be misled by Commissioner Williams' shell game used to confuse us as to which  community health programs need our tax dollars. Look around, we know better.
