Subject: NYC Hospitals
I agree with the Mayor 100%. The distinction in Mayor's statement is about the service not the access. Let me give you an example. Last year I had an unfortunate accident and broke my leg. I was in HSS for almost a whole week. During the time, a Hispanic immigrant ~70 yrs old was admitted and was the in the bed next to me. He was an indigent patient who did not have a dime, no relatives, did not speak English, did not know his address and did know where he was! I was amazed and impressed at the care and the service he got!

Subject: NYC Public Health discussion...
These discussions are absurd. They leave out the middle class that can't afford health insurance and isn't eligible for Medicaid. That's a lot of people. Only a national or state program will solve that problem and it's the crux of it all.
