I'm old leftie, usually side with the unions, but the hospital closing commission is right. There is excess capacity of in-patient beds. That system has to shrink, while community based clinic capacity has to grow.
The unions are protecting their members' jobs, which is what they are supposed to do, but in this case this does not coincide with everyone else's health care needs.
Never mind that 1199's powerbase is resides more and more with Bruno and Senate majority.
