It’s a huge problem not just in the Latino community, but also in the Black community.
LAURA SULLIVAN:
This is a story about those hospitals, largely government-funded, whose primary mission is to care for the poor and uninsured. They’re called safety-net hospitals.
BRAD SPELLBERG, M.D., Chief Med. Director, LAC+USC:
Why are safety nets hit the hardest? Because our patients are vulnerable. We serve a community of working poor. We serve people who are working essential jobs.
