This is why we need charity hospitals. Earl k long was an excellent hospital that trained physicians and helped poor people.
You are absolutely correct. Problem is, no one else wants to step up to the plate and help out the poor other than the Lake and their clinic physicians. Then people complain that the Lake is a shithole. Well others need to step up and help take care of all these “poor” people. One hospital and their docs can’t do it alone. The Lake recognized that BR was going to have a problem once EKL closed and chose to help out. Little did they know they would be taking on way more than their share.

Problem is ... how do we define "poor", someone who can pay for medical care but would rather not to so they can have the latest smartphone, biggest 4 wd truck, loudest sound system, biggest rims, has every cable channel offered and works for "cash" cleaning houses because they are on disability for fibromyalgia???

Thank Bobby Jindal-OLOL system is only hospital organization in BR that gets government reimbursement for non paying patients. Others agreed to see such patients if reimbursement would follow the patients, but were denied. OLOL wanted the medical resident education money and froze others out. This is their reward.
