The New Mexico Board of Finance voted to table
the approval of UNM’s proposed new, $146 million hospital after several hours
of deliberation at the Roundhouse on Tuesday.
A majority of members said they felt they still did
not have enough information to make a decision. They also say potential approval should be
delayed until after the Nov. 6 presidential election.
Members are concerned
that the need for new beds could change if the Affordable Care Act, commonly
referred to as Obamacare, is repealed, which Republican presidential candidate
Mitt Romney has vowed to do if he wins.
UNM Health Sciences Center Chancellor Paul Roth said the need for those
extra beds will not change regardless of whether or not the ACA stands.
