The New York Times reports on a genius health care solution. The union for 30,000 hotel maids and staff at NYC hotels used its pension fund to buy a garage in Brooklyn. The union tore that down and replaced it with a building in a high-rent district of Brooklyn.
They lease out five floors; the rest are for a free health and dental clinic for members and their families-- plus workout facility.
Members pay nothing for visits—the union has hired physicians, dentists and other health care professionals.
The fund contributed $120 million but regards it as a sound business investment.
Las Vegas has a similar clinic for its members and children.
