Greed. They didn’t even care about patients deaths and substandard care. Disgusting.
Steward has a really bad reputation. Their hospitals in Florida, they way they just discharge people 2 weeks after major heart surgery. Ridiculous. No next steps provided.
This is a entire national story…the rich in charge will never protect us citizens unless with are millionaires
😢
Worked for them in Utah for 9 years…no raise since 2020..finally left in December. This story is disgusting but not surprising
Private Equity will be the end of this country.
all of these private equity firms do the same crap. it is disgusting. it should be illegal for them to be them to me able to invest in the hospitals. They are just for profit- they dont care about the patients. But doctors arent allowed to buy in to hospitals.
Do Athena healthcare next?
Greed at its worst 💔
The 80s were labeled the decade of greed but it doesn’t hold a candle to what is going on now. We’ve let the corporate cat loose and we can’t contain it.
Private equity interests buying hospitals and siphoning off revenue is a national crisis. I was harmed by a hospital privately owned without my knowledge receiving substandard care. The CEO bragged to shareholders that the industry has weak ineffective regulations allowing them to do whatever they wanted to do to increase profits…
Private equity is destroying this country and they don't even make a lot of money for their shareholders, it all goes to the executives.
We hear these stories everyday. The bottom line is always Greed and more money at the risk of others😢But regardless of the consequences they will find other ways to profit‼️
They need to sue the company and the hospital!
Only in America.
I was a resident there in 2008. It had no such issues. When will people learn that healthcare should not be a profit making venture. 😢
Those trumped up death pannels when they gutted Obamacare are looking pretty good v.s. what private equity is doing to people. Just look into how many sell the land and sometimes the hospitals themselves leaving millions in total further away for care.
End medical bureaucracy! Healthcare for everyone!
Greed is destroying this country and the people. Between big food, private equity buying up everything, and the pharmaceutical, medical, and insurance industries, we are ufcked. We’re fat, sick, metabolically ill, overprescribed, in debt, and dying, and no one in power to change anything gives a damn because of all the money involved. This is what happens when things such as medical care are profit, instead of people, centered.
They need to be sued by the government.
Our healthcare system is a deadly mess!
The surgeons would know if the coil could have saved her!!
This is happening in our state in Louisiana!
