The legislature finds that:

A. the delivery of high-quality health care in New Mexico has in recent years become increasingly dependent upon sophisticated equipment at a time when the acquisition and financing of equipment by health-care providers has become increasingly expensive;

B. the increased costs of financing modern equipment by New Mexico health-care providers is necessarily passed on to patients receiving medical care from the health- care providers, resulting in higher medical bills, increased health insurance premiums and higher medicare and medicaid payments;

C. the problems relating to the delivery of health care cannot be remedied solely through the operation of private enterprise or efforts by individual communities, but can be alleviated through the creation of a program to facilitate and enable the investment of private capital for the purpose of financing health-related equipment at interest rates lower than those available in the conventional credit markets;

D. the creation of a program to coordinate and cooperate with health-care providers and local communities is essential to alleviating the problematic conditions relating to the provision of health care and is in the public interest; and

E. alleviating these conditions by the encouragement of private investment is a public purpose and a beneficial use for which money provided by the sale of revenue bonds may be borrowed, expended, advanced, loaned and granted.
