title: Hospitals struggle to survive along U.S.-Mexican border.
abstract: Along the border with Mexico, hospitals fight a constant battle against disease and poverty that inundates their institutions with Mexican nationals and poor Americans who need care but can't pay for it. The strained providers see the border phenomenon as a national problem, but the U.S. government sees the situation as a local matter.
