As Ranks of Uninsured Grow, Minnesota’s Hospitals Are Among Least Charitable in Nation

Minnesota's hospitals are among the least charitable in the nation, providing less financial aid to patients who can't afford their medical bills. Cori Roberts, a former stay-at-home mother, was denied charity care by CentraCare despite having insurance and being hit with over $8,000 in medical bills. Minnesota hospitals spend about a third of the national average on charity care.
