Scope and Contents

The author expresses their support for Oral Roberts plan to establish another hospital in Tulsa, despite recent criticism. They argue that competition in the healthcare industry is beneficial for consumers and that the current hospital system may be monopolistic. The author suggests that the need for approval from State Boards with potential conflicts of interest is problematic and calls for impartial groups to grant approval.
