How to prevent hospital strikes

            Hopefully the present tragic strike at Women and Infants

    Hospital will end with a sane and just compromise. Militant unionism

    here - if it never forgets the needs of the patients -and if it avoids

    Teamster Union frenzy - can accomplish its modest goals.

           But militant unionism is no solution to the really big problems

    of the American health care system. Sooner or later working people

    will see the wisdom of nationalizing the entire health care industry

    as a concommittant to a National Health Care Plan.

            All strikes will simply be prohibited by law at our nationalized

    hospitals. There will be no more FOR PROFIT health care in this

    country. And health care will be a universal human right.
