LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: When will D.C. realize it doesn’t belong in the hospital business? By Editor On May 26, 2019 Last updated May 26, 2019 25 Share D.C. LAWMAKERS have finally decided to do something about the wasteful spending at the troubled public hospital in Southeast. We wish we could applaud the move to cap spending and eventually close the hospital, but it is long overdue and — even more troubling — hinges on plans to replace it with a costly new hospital built at taxpayer expense. When will the city realize it doesn’t belong in the hospital business? When will it consider other, more effective ways to meet the urgent and critical health needs of people who live east of the Anacostia River? 25 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
