New York Hospitals Worried By Report

The New York Sun reports:

Panic is setting in among New York's money-hemorrhaging hospitals as Governor Pataki's health care commission nears completion of a first draft of proposals for revamping the state's troubled health industry.

Late next week, commission members are set to receive confidential advisory reports that will likely include lists of hospitals and nursing homes marked for downsizing or closure. Although the reports are nonbinding, they represent the first time the commission is formally considering recommendations and are the object of intense speculation and fear in the industry.
