A little late for Protest and Rallies, press conferences are just band-aids

Well, the City of Chester and the surrounding municipalities and boroughs have come to the point of no return with the ruling from a Texas Bankruptcy Judge sanctioning the closure of Crozier Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital.

This has been a long time coming, and there's no happenstance involved here. This has all been orchestrated by design by endless groups of robber barons intent on using the City of Chester and its residents to further fuel their own mercenary goals. It's not just about Prospect's covetous desire--it's about the systems in the city of Chester and Delaware County being attacked relentlessly, causing the collapse of a city and county, jeopardizing the safety and security of its residents and all for the want of property and a wavering perceived sense of prestige that disappears faster than the dollars that Prospect drained from this community.

For months, Prospect has been holding the region hostage with threats of closure, blackmailing the city, the county, and any other entity attempting to come to their aid. But lamenting about our situation is beyond useless, as are rallies, protests, and endless speeches by political figures and community stakeholders.

The time for action and viable solutions is at hand.
