What does the rule of law mean in Connecticut these days?
The Office of Health Strategy denied the closure of labor and delivery services at Sharon Hospital, and just like Hartford Health Care did at Windham Hospital, Nuvance is ignoring that ruling despite its status as final.
How is that lawful?
Do State Sen. Stephen Harding and Rep. Maria Horn, a lawyer, not support their constituent’s lawful access to safe birthing at Sharon Hospital?
Does Attorney General William Tong not stand for compliance to the rules established under his jurisdiction?
The Department of Public Health cannot require Nuvance to adhere to the ruling granting access to complete reproductive health care at Sharon Hospital?
Where is Gov. Ned Lamont who told me that the Office of Health Strategy has the final say, and he trusts their decisions?
Why would a new hospital system entering Connecticut respect the Office of Health Strategy’s ability to establish rightful access to health care if the state leadership does not enforce the rulings?
