The NC Justice Center's Adam Searing discusses with host Barlow Herget the recent N&O and Charlotte Observer's 5-part series on the state's big nonprofit hospitals.  Searing, recipient of two national awards this year, says he was surprised by the number of lawsuits filed by Carolina Healthcare Systems in Charlotte to collect money from poor patients.  Searing calls for more and better advertised charity from nonprofits that get millions in tax breaks.
