Nonprofit hospitals — which make up around half of hospitals in the United States — were founded to help the poor.
But a Times investigation has revealed that many have deviated from those charitable roots, behaving like for-profit companies, sometimes to the detriment of the health of patients.
Guest: Jessica Silver-Greenberg (https://www.nytimes.com/by/jessica-silver-greenberg?smid=pc-thedaily), an investigative business reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
With the help of a consulting firm, the Providence hospital system trained staff members to wring money out of patients (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/24/business/nonprofit-hospitals-poor-patients.html), even those eligible for free care.
Dozens of doctors have said that this New York nonprofit hospital pressured them to give preferential treatment to donors, trustees and their families (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/health/nyu-langone-emergency-room-vip.html).
Bon Secours Mercy Health, a major nonprofit health system, used a poor neighborhood to tap into a lucrative federal drug program (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/24/health/bon-secours-mercy-health-profit-poor-neighborhood.html).
