About the Episode
Steward Health Care was once the largest private hospital system in the country. When the private equity-backed network filed for bankruptcy last year, it devastated providers and patients. In Massachusetts, five of the eight Steward-owned hospitals were salvaged by the state and two were shuttered. Economics correspondent Paul Solman went there to see what happened and how.
