“48 Hours” uncovered chilling details in the murder of a Manhattan millionaire. In 1996, entrepreneur Howard Pilmar was stabbed to death in the headquarters of his businesses.

But as CBS News' Dr. Jon LaPook found out, some families still have to fight to get the life-saving care their loved ones need.
