Negotiating that state-wide would lead to a significant bargaining advantage in relation to health care providers and administrators (like the bloated MESSA bureaucracy).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615540480649619994.post-14053643651906578632009-07-20T09:07:31.892-07:002009-07-20T09:07:31.892-07:00altar was spelled wrong, whose fault was that?
