Waiting for health care in Oakland, Calif.
As health care reform debates move from the House floor to the back rooms of the Senate, we move our debate to a hospital in Oakland, Calif. Peter Nicks tells us about his project “The Waiting Room,” which follows the life and times of patients and staff at a county hospital there, where many patients are uninsured and seek care with no way to pay their bills.
