This is a completely unnecessary tax that would make it much harder to live on Orcas by raising our taxes hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.  These facilities cost a fortune even when they have a constant flow of patients.   Many people including my family moved here to get away from bureaucratic empire-building of other small Washington counties where nurses/techs/physicians sit around drawing nice salaries on the community's dime.  The fast, supercheap service of AirLift NorthWest whisking us to Harborview actually gives us FASTER (15 min.), and BETTER healthcare than paying high taxes to build & staff a rarely used facility. The urgent care facility in Friday Harbor has been a financial flop, is staffed with much less talented staff than Harborview, and they're twice as big as we are. A rural hospital is not where you want end up after a heart attack!  Please vote NO! Don't force huge taxes on people who just want to live simply.  Vote yes, and we'll all be paying forever.
