Her overview segment said Catholic Hospitals are the single biggest owner of hospitals in the country, they own 1 in 6 hospitals, and a lot of hospitals got taken over, and the patients never knew it until they ran into the religious guidelines that made them victims of insane malpractice.

She has a bunch of web extra interviews with different women who saw the American Bishops' insane anti-woman restrictions, first hand. I think it's 10/27. Very informative and worth watching.
