  • A mother's death at a Boston hospital shortly after giving birth has sparked a state investigation into the hospital's owner, Steward Health Care. Last year, a CBS News investigation found a trail of unpaid bills at Steward hospitals around the country, leading to a shortage of potentially life-saving supplies. Dr. Jon LaPook has the details.

    Never go to a FOR PROFIT hospital... I worked in one (for a year and a half) and staffing and instrumentation/resources were so thin, patients in the ER and on the floor were dying because of it. It was disgusting (Tenet). They didn't care. All they cared about was PROFIT and profit and medicine should never go together!

    Corporate greed knows no end. Even when it deals with patient's lives. Sickening.

    I worked for a health insurance company and they only cared about the bottom dollar NOT the client.

    Greed,such a heinous thing. Unfortunately this is happening nationwide. Hospital ceos along with others, just want to keep their pockets padded. At what cost,this doesn't aeem to matter to them.

    The truth must be awakened, now talk about how big pharma and medical insurance companies also prioritize profits over patient health.

    willfully depriving a hospital of lifesaving resources should be negligent homicide

    I want to invest in a long term care facility but I don’t want to end up giving thousands to a group that doesn’t care about the patients

    I stay out of medical system after endo said to sell my car to get on cgm/ pump. I'd rather ration insulin than go bankrupt.

    It’s capitalism, profit first nothing else matters.

    The private equity investors should serve proportionate time. There have to be criminal, not just civil consequences if we continue down the path of letting capitalism drive everything in this country.
