TIM Robbins' and Susan Sarandon's mission to protect the poor and needy doesn't apply to their Greenwich Village neighborhood. The Oscar-winning liberals recently attended a Landmarks Preservation Commission hearing to oppose St. Vincent's plea to build a new, larger hospital on West 12th Street, three blocks from their home.

“Hi, I’m Susan Sarandon. Most of you know me as Tim Robbins’ mother, but I’m actually his girlfriend.”
You are correct. Hypocrite fits limousine liberals very well. These asshats are against the expansion of a “hospital”. So much for community right Susie?
Those two moonbats named their son 'Jack Henry' after the double murderer Jack Henry Abbott because they felt the murderer was a fabulous writer.
Yep.
She named one of her own kids after a murderer, Jack Henry Abbott, who was paroled from prison because of the efforts of writer Norman Mailer and Sarandon herself. Abbott subsequently murdered again.
I guess Adolph and Osama were already taken.
LOL!!!
I saw Family Guy do the same parody of Sarandon.
Surprise Surprise, Surandon and Robbins are NIMBY’s.
Anybody know if Norman Mailer ever said anything about Abbot?
why 3 blocks away? bring it closer, like next door !
Suzie feels so sorry for the little people...she can’t bare to look at them!
Mailer was enthralled by Abbott and that is how Sarandon and Robbins became enthralled by Abbott. Monkey see, monkey do.
Typical hypocrite limosine libs.
Got that right! Good for thee, but not for me.
I’ll side with Robbins and Sarandon here. As someone who lives a couple of blocks from an area where a huge hospital is growing like a cancer, obliterating neighborhoods of beautiful old homes that it regards as annoying obstacles to its never-ending expansion, I absolutely oppose this trend. We need more mega-hospitals like a hole in the head, and the people who are heading up the mega-hospital projects are most certainly not doing it out of a desire to “provide care to the indigent”. And no, I’m not impressed with orchestrated demonstrations by unionized workers — they aren’t in this to “provide care to the indigent” either.
Make no mistake about it, there is one thing and only one thing driving the trend to ever-larger hospitals, and that’s socialized medicine. Patients are processed by the hundreds like commodities, treated by overworked young resident doctors who are paid slave wages and ordered to work in whatever location the national match system sends them to. Private companies spring up to sell endless tests and procedures inside and on the immediate perimeter of the hospital, not according to what patients are most in need of, but according to what tests and procedures can be churned out at the highest reimbursement to cost ratio, from Medicare/Medicaid and from intensely regulated “private” insurers. Little details like controlling the spread of infectious agents fall by the wayside as doctors and nurses and technicians race around these huge complexes making fleeting contact with hundreds of patients of day, few of whom have any choice whatsoever as to where or how they receive their medical care. No thanks. The faster this scam collapses, the better.
