MUSC FURLOUGHS

MUSC handles budget shortfall with furloughs.

I would like to suggest that MUSC, as well as University Medical Associates, stop using out of state companies to process their billing.

After recently using the emergency room facilities, after an unfortunate interlude with an automobile while on my bicycle, I received bills from each of them, MUSC wanting me to send a check to a p.o. box in Atlanta and UMA asking me to send a check to a p.o. box in Raleigh. I paid both bills locally.

Surely they realize they are sending jobs out of state at a time when unemployment is high. They are also reducing our state’s tax base with these practices.

Carry on.
