It wouldn't take a genius to tie those two events together, would it? (or the SBI, or anyone who has or gains access to the Sheriff Dept's records...); April 21, 2012 at 8:53 AM

Tillett Votes "No"

Commissioner Virginia Tillett was the only commissioner voting against a small premium and deductible increase for county employees recently. Tillett gave no reason for her vote, but stated she understood why some county employees used the hospital emergency room instead of a primary care doctor, even if the circumstances didn't merit it. Tillett said some employees would rather have the hospital bill them for the $250 emergency room deductible, months later, than have to come up a $25/$50 doctor visit deductible on the spot for a doctor's office visit. "You get the hospital bill and just pay a little along", said Tillett. It was not apparent whether Tillett understood that emergency room visits, via higher hospital charges, was one of the chief culprits in rising county premium expenses.
