He has posted his response and it deflects the major concerns but the highlight is that he is a "data man". Proclaims it in the first sentence then provides lots of facts with no data to back it up.

People die when you close an ER in their area, data shows.
Rolfe McCollister and Stephanie Reigel both slanted the truth in their editorials in this weeks Baton Rouge Business Report.
Researchers found that among inpatients at hospitals affected by an emergency room closure, 5% were more likely to die than patients at other hospitals. The increase in the risk of death for affected adults under 65 was even greater: their risk of dying in the hospital increased by 10% compared with similar patients who were not affected by a closure. And heart attack, stroke and sepsis patients faced a 15% greater risk of dying in the hospital if there had been a closure nearby, when compared with similar patients at unaffected hospitals.
