Why
is it when the state comes up short, they want to sell
SUNY Hospitals?DONT SELL SUNY HOSPITALS SHORT. To plug the states budget gap, the Executive Budget gives SUNY Trustees the authority to sell our SUNY Hospitals in Syracuse, Brooklyn, and Stony Brook. That would be bad medicine for the communities served by the hospitals. Selling the SUNY hospitals would put community health care services at risk, threaten specialty medical services, and eliminate public and legislative oversight. There is a better way. Ask the states most profitable corporations and wealthiest individuals to carry their fair share of the states fiscal burden. Close corporate tax loopholes and implement a temporary tax surcharge on the richest New Yorkers. Call your legislators and the governor toll free at 1-877-255-9417. Tell them to reject the proposal to sell our SUNY hospitals. Keep SUNY hospitals public, and part of SUNY. PEF Public Relations ad campaigns This ad appeared in the March 8,
