Answer – Dumping

Dumping refers to the situation where a hospital discharges unprofitable patients before they are well or when a private hospital sends unprofitable patients to a public hospital. “Unprofitable patients” is a general term used to refer to patient's who lack of insurance or are unable to pay.
