TRENTON, New Jersey, February 7—Socialist Workers candidate for U.S. president Róger Calero addressed a rally here today against the closing of St. James Hospital in Newark. “We should demand the hospital management open the books,” he said, in reference to the claim that the hospital is losing $6 million per month. “A committee of workers should be appointed to run the hospitals in the interests of the vast majority.” Calero also pointed to the need for government-guaranteed universal health care from cradle to grave. His comments received enthusiastic applause.
