Medical Crowdfunding: The good and the bad

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Medical Crowdfunding: The good and the bad
Published: December 20, 2020 by RHJ Producer

Please note: The segment below is an updated version of a story originally broadcast in 2018.


Medical campaigns account for a third of monies raised on crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe, and many people who’ve fallen through the holes of the safety net have been helped this way. But studies show that fraud is rampant in crowdfunding, with fake patients and medical providers who are all too eager to take money for worthless treatment. Experts discuss these issues and the need for regulation.
