Galveston County Daily News, July 26, 2007 GALVESTON - John Stobo sees widespread improvement at the University of Texas Medical Branch during his decade at the helm. But the hospital system continues to struggle to meet its commitment to care for those without insurance, he said Monday. What's more, Stobo said he's given up hope that the Legislature will pony up enough money to solve the problem. Stobo steps down as the medical branch's president at the end of August.  He announced his resignation from the post last year amid criticism about his handling of the institution's latest round of job cuts and the implementation of other economies intended to put its fiscal house in order. Stobo oversaw his first round of such cuts shortly after he arrived in 1997. The primary cause of both cutbacks was the same - the medical branch's inability to find new revenue to cover the growing cost of caring for those without private or government insurance. Despite the acrimony about the latest round of cuts, the medical branch has been the scene of numerous achievements during the past decade.
