March to Reopen DC General Hospital
When the public health system was privatized by closing DC General Hospital and transferring responsibility to the DC Health Care Alliance, Mayor Tony Williams assured us that the new system would provide more effective health care. But the CEO of George Washington University Hospital calls the system an "abject failure" and wants the city to reopen a public hospital at the DC General site (Washington Post, Sept. 14).
On Saturday, Oct. 11, at 2 p.m., the DC Health Care Coalition (DCHCC) is sponsoring a march to the US Capitol from DC General (1900 Massachusetts Ave. SE, at the Stadium/Armory Metro stop). For more information about this event or to learn about other DCHCC events, call 202/635-5099.
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.
