Now That LICH (the Hospital the Governor Said We Didn't Need) Is Gone, Brooklyn Hospital Scrambling to Double Its ER

Now that Governor Cuomo has succeeded in destroying Long Island College Hospital (LICH), the not-so-popular Brooklyn Hospital Center is scrambling to double the size of its crammed Emergency Department.

Why would BHC do that when the Governor's whole arguement is that LICH and its ER were unnecessary?

In an especially weird and off-key homage to the Brooklyn real estate players responsible for bringing down the historic hospital, during Brooklyn Hospital's gala fundraiser,  a life-sized Monopoly-style game show will include options to “purchase” local real estate and brand monuments. "Each guest will leave the gala with a boxed game set ready to play at home."

Wonder if one of the "monuments" will be LICH?
