New York’s Health System: Its Rise and Murderous Fall
by Richard Freeman

Today, it’s as though the city’s hospitals have been hit by a strategic bombing raid, while urban infrastructure has deteriorated past the danger point.

Correction
A typographical error appeared in the title of the graph (page 7) of the article in the July 29, 1994 issue, “Why U.S. Health Care Must Return to the Hill-Burton Standard.” The title should have read, “Beds per 1,000 people in the United States,” rather than “per 100,000 people.” The standard of “beds per thousand” was used in the 1946 Hill-Burton Act, and is customary to this day. Statistics on doctors, on the other hand, are customarily presented in terms of physicians per 100,000 people.
