Profiting From Our Health Care Needs One of the metro area's largest healthcare provider, Care First, recently announced that it was "switching" from a non-profit -- to a for-profit corporation. Next, Care First tells Washington's Children's Hospital that they will be paying a lower rate for the hospital's services. Now, the hospital and Care First have stopped doing business together, leaving some seriously ill patients with no health care coverage.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
