Summary
The December 1971 issue of HealthPAC Bulletin critiques the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, which was established to manage the city's municipal hospitals. The article discusses the corporation's failure to improve patient care and its bureaucratic inefficiencies, highlighting the political control exerted by Mayor Lindsay and the inadequacies of the management structure. Notable figures include Joseph English, the Corporation President, and Gordon Chase, head of the Health Services Administration, both of whom are criticized for their roles in perpetuating a two-tiered healthcare system in New York City. The issue reflects broader concerns about the privatization of healthcare management and the implications for public accountability and service quality.
