Part One: The Business of Care
The story of Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital — the dominant political and economic institution of Albany, Georgia — is the story of American health care.
Part Two: The Making of a Monopoly
The story of how Phoebe, founded in 1911 as a community hospital, becomes a sprawling health care system and wages a yearslong battle to eliminate its competition.
Part Three: Poor Grades, Poor Outcomes
Phoebe paid an exorbitant sum to acquire its crosstown rival and became Albany’s only hospital. But as the company’s debt increased, patients suffered.
Part Four: The Last Safety Net
As a community hospital, Phoebe’s mission is to care for people no matter their ability to pay. But in a town where the uninsured rate is twice the national average, even some Phoebe employees are unable to afford treatment.
When a well-off, widely respected pillar of the community and member of the hospital’s board can’t get the care he needs at Phoebe, it raises the question: Who can?

The Beneficiary Experience: The Costs of Medicare Advantage
Medicare is becoming more costly and beneficiaries are increasingly struggling to afford care. In 2023, 41% of callers to the Medicare Rights national helpline had questions about affording various Medicare costs, nearly double the percentage of callers who were primarily concerned about costs in 2012. With 54% of eligible beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA) in 2025, with projections indicating this number will continue to grow, reducing MA costs and overhauling its financial structure are key to making Medicare sustainable.
The three new briefs in our Medicare Sustainability series examine how MA plans can overpromise and underdeliver in order to drive up enrollment and compensation to MA organizations.
