Summary:

In this provocative volume, the authors review the recent trend in U.S. municipal hospital systems to privatize anything that can be sold or handed off to profit-seeking businesses. Specifically, they examine how the HHC has played a crucial role in New York City as a government-funded entity for the past quarter of a century.
