Our Right to Health Launch This Memorial day United workers will mark the launch of our Right to Health Campaign with a memorial at Springfield hospital to remember and honor our fallen soldiers in this ever growing war on the poor. Springfield Hospital is the site of Marylands Potters field a mass grave for the unidentified and unclaimed cremains of those impoverished Marylanders who were too poor to afford a funeral. According to Maryland law a family has 72hours to claim their relatives body and provide for their funerary services. If they cannot afford to claim their loved one the body is taken by the Anatomy Board and sold in whole or in parts as a cadaver for medical research.
