COMPLAINTS In 1946, Congress passed a law which gave hospitals and other health facilities money for construction and modernization. In return, the facilities that received these Hill-Burton funds agreed to (1) provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay, and (2) make their services available to all persons residing in the facilitys area.
