In the last few days, I drove by st. Vincents hospital in west village and north general up in Harlem. Both are now shuttered and completely abandoned. I have to imagine we will see more hospital closures and that this phenomenon is not unique to NYC. Meanwhile millions of Americans don’t have access to healthcare and costs are going thru the moon. How about instead of closing these hospitals we create a government healthcare system where anyone can seek care. It’d be exactly like the VA and probably cost far less than Medicare and Medicaid. If you don’t want to go to these, buy private insurance. Seems like an very easy solution. http://amplify.com/u/bz0sy
