  • Uncompensated healthcare is care provided by physicians, hospitals, and other medical personnel pro bono, a shortened form of pro bono publico, a Latin phrase meaning “for the public good.” In 2008, about 47 million Americans lack health insurance coverage, and many of the uninsured are indigent.
