Health Care Crises

Last week, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers concluded that the sale of two hospitals to a Catholic organization did not threaten to effect a "material change" in the charitable purposes of the hospitals.

For those whose health-care plans are not chained to the Exempla hospitals that are to be sold, that's a facile conclusion. For those whose fully covered hospital visits may be denuded of certain reproductive-health services, Suthers' conclusion is harder to justify.
