Thousands of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo have earned the infamous nickname of "hospital prisoners". Penniless, they've been forced after operations or births to continue living in the hospitals, often in horrible conditions. Until they can pay their bills, there's no escape.Duration: 01:43

  • Backward thinking. Keeping them and feeding them is more expensive. Give the women a chance to get out and make a living so that they can pay back the hospital.

    What's wrong with these people in that part of the world?

  • Congo is one of the top worst countries to live in for women, along with Afghanistan..

  • @AUTUMNSUN3000 im with you on that, i dont mind paying for a couple of them.

  • With some difference, same is the poor Indian women fate

  • Slaves are treated as such.. Obama will see to that America will follow...

  • You still didn't answer why this terrible situation has to do with Obama's Healthcare plan. And how the hell am I ignorant for bringing that up? And by the way do you have any proof of Obama stating that phrase or are you just repeating some line from dumb ass Rush.

  • @IstahillB: Your remark only shows just how ignorant you are. IT is the Democrats that coined the phrase (NEVER LET A GOOD CRISES GO TO WAIST) !!!! Obama has repeated this himself many times. It is you that needs to shake your head kid.

    Obama is a FRAUD !!!

  • Oh shut up. You repubs are really pathetic. You try and take a horrible situation that has nothing to do with Obama, and try to use it to bash him. Read up on the facts of the Health Care propositions instead just listening to the nonsense right wing talking points of the day.

    A little food for thought

  • i agree, that is cruel.
