Prepping California Hospitals

HOLY COW!  Where in the world is this $$$ gonna come from?

March 28 (UPI) -- When the Northridge Earthquake struck in 1994, it damaged 11 hospitals and forced eight to evacuate. This led to California to adopt the SB1953, which is designed to protect the state's hospitals against future earthquakes.

To that end, it will cost between $34 billion and $143 billion for the state's hospitals to reach its 2030 state seismic safety standards, according to a new report published by the RAND Corporation.


That's a pretty big range ($34 to $143 billion), but even the low side is a big, BIG number.

Looks like the price of an E.R. visit just went up again!  :)
