In the Fall of 1999, hundreds of patients were forced to stand lines for many hours at the Main Pharmacy of San Francisco General Hospital. Hospital administrators wanted to drive Medi-Cal patients away, and had closed an auxiliary pharmacy with the express purpose of creating long lines in the Main Pharmacy. Hundreds of angry patients and health workers flooded Health Commission meetings to prevent Administration from closing the Main Pharmacy also.
