LA's super-wealthy are offering clinics $25,000 for priority access to coronavirus vaccines, doctors say

But that hasn't deterred those with ample financial means from trying to secure inoculations for themselves with big-cash offers.In Pictures Ltd./Corbis via Getty Images

Another LA-based doctor, Dr.Jeff Toll, who works with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, told the Times a patient asked him: "If I donate $25,000 to Cedars, would that help me get in line?'" The demand has put private healthcare providers in a tricky situation, with clients paying high sums for expert care expecting an equally high level of attention. Still, doctors are ethically obligated to put the needy first.
