Health care system "collapse": Doctors, experts sound alarm over Puerto Rico's medical system
CBSN
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, which hit in 2017, Puerto Rico's public health care system was flooded with people in need.
Now, Hurricane Fiona is expected to add to the island's health care crisis. About half of the people living on the island depend on the public health care system. And local officials say federal funding gaps have led to staff shortages and long wait times for patients.
Experts say Hurricane Maria exposed an already deteriorating system.
