DHEC opens way for Aiken heart care unit
The DHEC board changed certificate of need rules for open heart surgery enabling Aiken Regional Medical Services to file a CON. Local residents long needed in hospital heart care, as emergencies previously required transfer to Augusta or Columbia. The move could bring complete health care locally, bolster retirement appeal, and reflect strong community demand for expanded heart services.

Reopening Dirty Political Dealings
Washington, the Republican budget plan to end public financing of presidential campaigns faces criticism. It would cut a roughly 100 million dollar yearly saving, but undermines the system designed after Watergate to curb private influence. Public funding allows primary fundraising limits and equal general election funds, shifting focus to voters rather than fundraisers. Critics warn soft money loopholes persist and could revive big donor leverage as parties control funds.
