Punatic007, you are always a troll who is good for a laugh. But I am a sucker too, so I'll go for your bait. 1. You know an "incredible" amount of people who move here for our health benefits? Hawaii, and the east side of our island in particular, are not known for high quality health care. The opposite is the truth. 2."Lots of families move here..." You claim to know all of two. And a doubtful story of wealth forever." In fact it is a lie or a fabrication. 3. You notice an "inordinate amount of locals and transplants...who abuse their bodies," etc. You are extraordinarily perceptive. I cannot tell if somebody is local or a transplant by their looks. And again, you are either mistaken or lying. Hawaii is #1 amongst states in longevity and second to the last in obesity. Our tobacco use is in the lower 25% of the nation. We are in the top 5 for exercise (darn Colorado is #1 for exercise and last for obesity). Perhaps a return visit to your neurologist is in order. The topic is layoffs at our hospitals, not our lack of self-control or prescription drugs. I thank and appreciate those physicians who choose to serve our communities. The lay-offs are very bad news.
