Budget for Mattie Hall Provokes Budget Questions

The National HealthCare Corp operates the center under county contract with monthly administrative costs over 20000 dollars. Mortis cited reduced operating expenses and a positive cash flow while noting the administration seeks a three dollar daily room-rate increase, arguing the hike would raise annual costs for families.
