Summary
The Winter 1969 issue of HealthPAC Bulletin critically examines the proposed New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, questioning its ability to address systemic issues in municipal health services. The editorial argues that merely incorporating health services into a corporate structure will not resolve problems like financing, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and manpower shortages. It emphasizes the need for genuine public accountability and integration of health services rather than a shift to a corporate model that may exacerbate existing issues. The issue also highlights Health-PAC's growth and upcoming reports on health rights and municipal health crises, indicating a commitment to community engagement and advocacy.
