On the issue of the proposed closing of D. C. General Hospital, and
on the occasion of March 22, 2001 Congressional briefing on
"Public Health in Crisis, D. C. General Hospital in Focus", State
Representative Lamar Lemmons III, 2nd District, Michigan, stated:
I am very disappointed and appalled at the prospect of closing
another inner city hospital. Making medical care facilities
unavailable is tantamount to withholding health care which
is
tantamount to genocide.
