Nick, you are a guy w...Speaking of academic porn..<br /><br />Nick, you are a guy who lays it on the line. Would like to see you opinion on this:<br /><br />Two interesting items in the Corridor Business Journal yesterday:<br /><br />1. UIHC will in a few days obtain approval from the BOR to build a $73 million outpatient center in Coralville. Sounds like the major reason is poor parking at the UIHC.<br /><br />2. Article 2 discussed the out of control health care costs. In 1999 each family spent 5000 for health insurance. In 2008 or 2009, that total rose to 15,000.<br /><br />So why build a new expensive building to replace a building that is less than 15-20 years old, which only will raise expenses?<br /><br />1. Is this responsible use of 73 million (bonds) considering spiraling health care costs and state budget problems?<br /><br />2. And how do the nurses and housekeepers who were fired feel about the new building expansion?<br /><br />3. Is there an actual independent assessment that this is a valuable addition to the UIHC?<br /><br />The two people quoted in the article - Robillard and Kates together pull in over 1,000,000 a year and prolly a 1.5 million with bennies. They build a new parking lot with only about 4-5 years salary...<br /><br />Why aren't local journalists on this?<br /><br />Bet you 73 million that Robillard's name graces this center.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
