Nevada Cancer Institute Layoffs

The Nevada Cancer Institute slashed half of its 300-member staff on Friday.  The Summerlin institute is $100 million in debt.  We talk to the co-founder and board chairman about the cuts, how it accumulated $100 million in debt, and whether it can still survive in Nevada.
