A Bitter Pill
A new report says nine hospitals throughout New York State must close, including five in New York City. The recommendations are part of an effort to fix the state’s health care system, but why is the Government ordering private hospitals to shut down? We’ll look at how economics, politics and public health are colliding to make this happen. Plus: The President goes to Jordan, The Pope goes to Turkey; more on the police shootings in Queens; and burning out isn't just for social workers anymore.
