1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
The issue presented is whether a new Massachusetts statute aimed at restraining increases in hospital costs impermissibly interferes with the collective bargaining efforts of the plaintiff, the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA), in such a way that the statute must be held to be preempted by the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 141 et seq., and the policies it embodies.
The district court dismissed the complaint in a comprehensive opinion, 570 F.Supp. 628 (D.Mass.1983). We affirm on the basis of the district court’s opinion, as supplemented by this opinion.
