BALTIMORE -- Overnight, Imamu Baraka was walking past a Baltimore hospital when he noticed something he says he'll never forget.The hospital's security guards had just wheeled a patient to a bus stop, and in the freezing temperatures they left her there. The only thing she had on was a hospital gown."It's about 30 degrees out here right now," Baraka says in a recording of the encounter. "Are you OK, ma'am? Do you need me to call the police?" he asks.It's called "patient dumping" and it doesn't just happen in Baltimore. In 2007, "60 Minutes" investigated the practice of removing homeless patients from Los Angeles hospitals and leaving them downtown.Often the patients are not insured or have other financial issues, but it's unclear if that was the case in Baltimore.
It's not the first time, it's not going to be the last time.It's basically illegal to be poor in america and if you have any serious medical problem you'll be tossed on the street because you're poor.
whats up kimon
Death to the homeless
I firmly believe, like education, healthcare is a human right
neither of those are rights
Then what is the purpose of rights if you can't guarantee basic needs
I can't even argue with this, this is just so wrong at such a basic level. You've got to be trolling.
people don't have the right to be alive imo, that's why murder should be legal also
