Justice, not charity! Hospitals violate financial-aid laws for uninsured patients

Despite collecting millions of dollars from the state for “charity care, ” New York hospitals pursue uninsured patients aggressively for unpaid bills, seizing their assets and filing liens against their homes. With little or no oversight, hospitals routinely fail to help eligible patients apply for financial aid. Even those who have paid premiums for years find themselves in overwhelming debt after losing their jobs and insurance . . . and getting sick at the wrong time.
