Great Lakes Health Retreat in Progress
 As I write this post, the Great Lakes Health system is conducting a private retreat at the Hyatt Regency downtown. The event is closed to the public and press.
The retreat follows a half-hour “open meeting” conducted by GLH board chair Robert Gioia, and board members Edward Walsh, Jr., Sharon L. Hanson, and Kevin E. Cichocki, D.C.. At the end of the brief presentation (click here for the outline), the two reporters present were told to leave. Below are screen shots of the various “breakout” meetings taking place in private. |

And let’s not forget lunch…

Wonder what’s on the menu?
When you visit the Great Lakes Health Web site and read that they are “unveiling a bold new healthcare delivery system for Western New York,” what they really mean, obviously, is that they are “unveiling” it to one another, behind closed doors.
The Western New York public will then have the opportunity to live, and die, with their decisions.

How about a single payer health care retreat?

Have to assume that what they are planning is too terrifying to reveal to the public.

What an honor even to be allowed to sit in the same room with authentic Queen City Brahmin. I hope those reporters are gentlemen enough to send thank you cards. Typical one horse town b.s. You can always rattle of a handful of the right names and get about 80% accuracy after you’ve lived here for 6 months.
