A long-awaited plan to shrink New York State’s hospital industry landed yesterday with the force of an earthquake, with proposals that could effectively eliminate 20 or more hospitals and thousands of jobs, and force dozens of other hospitals to shrink, merge or take on new roles.

The recommendations by the Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century, go far beyond the 9 hospital closures and downsizings that state officials reported late Monday, after being briefed by the commission.
