Coalition for a New Village Hospital
Suggested message :
Ladies and Gentlemen :We need a hospital on the Lower West Side of Manhattan. The proposal to replace St. Vincent's Hospital with an 'urgent care center' is insufficient ; such a center will not be able to provide Level 1 trauma care, emergency rooms, critical healthcare attention, or hospital beds. Such a center would also be unable to adequately address any real public health or safety issues, were they to come up. Right now, there is no Level 1 Trauma Center below 14th Street in Manhattan, which we all know is a high risk security area. Everyone in our community is worried that people's lives are now in jeopardy, because of the longer time it will take them to be transported to the emergency rooms of alternative hospitals. There is no value we can put on human life. I am writing to you to let you know that our community is organising, and we demand a hospital in lower Manhattan.
Yours sincerely,
( If you think of new addresses to be included, or any changes that should be made, please post a comment on this blog. )

This is so very clear and thorough and makes such good sense, that I fear it makes sense too good for the government to understand. Their actions are irrational and inexplicable and unjustifiable and irreconcilable. This seems to be a juncture where only God could bring together this much rationale with this much insanity.
