- THE BILLFOLD BIOPSY - 60 MINUTES - (CBS; 3 / 1985). Mike Wallace investigates hospitals in the Greater Dallas area that practice "dumping" patients without insurance.
This was done 39 years ago. I wonder what the situation is now.
Having worked in this field for a decade plus I agree that the hospitals are very unethical and also that they advertise things about themselves which are bogus constantly. I'd have no issue with them truthfully reporting that we are a for profit organization which treats insured people ONLY rather than saying what they say which is that they opperate an ED for EVERYBODY.
Americans really need to get public healthcare. I live in a country where we have access to free healthcare.
Do you think we haven't been trying to get that for generations????
No profit in it.
@@413smr I know the US has been trying to get public healthcare, but the question is why has this not happened? It is ridiculous that a first world super power country like the US has no public healthcare. I am so grateful I live in a country that has this. I can't imagine what it would be like just to have to come up with money to see a doctor for something minor like the common cold.
@@donald1576 There is still profit in having extended healthcare. My country offers access to free basic healthcare, but if people want to see a dentist after the age of 18, families pay for extended healthcare or its paid for by the employer if you work at a company that offers a paid benefits plan (most companies in my country does). So insurance companies can still make a profit from extended healthcare services.
After 1:04 I logged out. Nothing's changed. X-(
Trauma patients, medical emergencies in need of immediate care, do not get 'billfold biopsy" before they get treatment.
Non-emergencies get more scrutiny.
