社评 1025   支持赫里斯郡发行公共卫生公债





支持赫里斯郡发行公共卫生公债


為了改造赫里斯郡医疗卫生公共医院之基建设施, 包括大休斯敦在内之居民将对二十五亿之公债进行公投,这将是近二十年来对医疗事业之重大改革。


多年来,我有幸参与赫里斯郡医疗公益基金会之理事职位, 主要是為五个社区医院进行筹款工作, 十多年来, 基金会透过社会各界之捐助, 对於公立医院之生存產生积极之作用。


赫里斯郡每年拨款二十亿支助五家公立医院, 这些公立医院不但提供没有健康保险的市民使用 ,更是许多紧急救护之主要医院。


我们非常赞同发行二十五亿公债来改善目前已经非常陈旧之设备, 况且我们人口不断增加,包括许多新来之难民。


社会上贫富差距越来越大, 苦难之市民求助无方, 只有依赖公共医疗资源来治病, 这也是我们应提供之基本服务。






                               We Support The 2.5 Billion Bond Referendum For The Harris County Hospital District


In order to renovate the infrastructure of the Harris County public hospitals, residents in the county will hold a referendum for a $2.5 billion dollar bond.                           This is the most major step that has been taken in the past twenty years. 

Over the last few years, I have had the honor to serve on the Harris County Hospital District Foundation Board. Our job has been mainly to raise funds for the hospitals in Harris County. In the last several years, the foundation has played a very important role toward the improvement of our medical services in Harris County. 


Every year Harris County allocates $2 billion dollars to support five public hospitals that are not only used by people without insurance, but are also the main hospitals used as trauma hospitals for emergency rescue services.


We are very much in favor and strongly support the issuing of the $2.5 billion dollar bond to improve the hospitals which are now very old. 

In recent years we have had more people moving into Harris County including many refugees and the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider. 


Many people have no way to ask for help. They can only depend on public medicine to survive.
