Hospital in Central Brooklyn Plans to Declare Bankruptcy
2012-12-03
[NY Times] A financially troubled hospital serving a largely African-American and Caribbean niche of central Brooklyn is planning to declare bankruptcy this week, hospital officials said on Sunday, raising concerns that New York State may force it to close or merge with another facility.

The hospital, Interfaith Medical Center, serving Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, has been in and out of financial trouble for decades, with its survival assured only by infusions of state aid.

However, in difficult economic times, the Cuomo administration has not indicated a willingness to continue bailing out failing hospitals.

#10  My wife was given a choice; change your insurance company or dump your doctor of 30+ years. Another lie of Obamacare.

#9  Agree, but my family plan sent me a letter within a month of gables mcbotox struttin marking an increase of 30%. Also, any union worth their salt found a reason to renegotiate their contracts to include any future health care costs...almost as if they knew something.

#8  I suspect that even had Obamacare never passed, medical insurance prices would be spiking due to previously known causes plus the Fed's devaluation of the currency.

#7  Was at a company all hands meeting today. Boss told everyone their premiums were going up between 30 and 100% percent in 2014. It was a delicious moment, because 90% of them voted for Champ.

#6  BT if you mean that then you are falling for the typical MSM, rent seeking progressive bs.

The health care system in the US is probably the best in the world.

Now let's talk about the health care PAYMENT system. That's what's broken and what needs fixing is not that gov't doesn't have enough control.

#3  Obamacare will turn an otherwise good health care system into a clusterphfvck that doesn't work for anyone. Thanks Omugabe (sarc). It was never really about covering the uninsured.

#2  The closure of a magnet, People's Hospital following the presidential election? We must be closer to the end than I thought.
