It was announced by the CEO of the LBJ Tropical Medical Center at yesterday’s cabinet meeting that the $10 facility fee which the hospital charges will be suspended.

Faumuina John Faumuina said an official announcement will be made but he told the cabinet that possibly starting next month the facility charge will be suspended for all clinics but will still be paid at the Emergency Room and the Pharmacy.

The CEO said that they will monitor the situation and if all goes well and if the “people in Amerika” are good, it will be continued.  On the other hand if things don’t go well, he will infiorm the public that they have to pay the $10 facility charge again.

Faumuina said an announcement will be made but those who have American Samoan and United States IDs will qualify for the suspension of the $10 facility fee which should be effective at the beginning of June.
