Orphaned by AIDS
Article Abstract:
Montefiore Medical Center helps mothers with AIDS arrange for their children's future care and upbringing by referring the women to Legal Aid Society attorneys. The lawyers make arrangements for a child in case the mother dies. Since the center began offering legal referrals in the mid-1980s, 11 other hospitals in New York, NY, have followed suit. About 80,000 women who had AIDS and were capable of having children in 1992 will die before 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates.

Loan program on borrowed time?
Article Abstract:
The Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program, a loan guarantee program operated by the Federal Housing Authority, has been criticized for focusing mainly on New York hospitals. The program provides loan guarantees, and nearly 90% of its $5 billion guarantees since 1968 have gone to hospitals in New York state. The Office of Management and Budget has reclassified the program as a potential revenue loser, even though the program has generated healthy revenues in the past.
