EDITORIAL!!

Dear Gov. Corbett: We're About to Lose Our Affordable UPMC access ... from the Editorial Board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"We used to take pride in having quality care that was close at hand, so much so that we've given willingly every year to Children's Hospital, we've been happy to see taxpayer-provided grants go to UPMC facilities and we've watched our well-endowed neighbors offer tremendous philanthropy to build new UPMC centers. But now we're caught between two feuding giants -- UPMC, which controls most of the region's health care, and Highmark, which issues most of the region's health insurance -- and it's the average folks of Western Pennsylvania who are about to be trampled."
