Kind of Odd when a high ranking LDH official starts calling private healthcare companies to ask them to put in a request to send letters to the governor to implement a mandatory mask mandate as well as include K-12. Couldn’t they ask in a staff meeting?? @MichaelEchols

RT @BrianFitz_: NEW from us @OCCRP: A deep dive into how private equity — and an ambitious landlord — put Steward Health Care on life suppo…
@JamieMariePope Just dumb that we don<U+2019>t have a strategy for this life saving treatment in our state. Following the federal playbook to a tee vs actually having our own plan. Maybe that<U+2019>s why our state is getting hammered vs actually being ahead of the curve. We need new healthcare leaders!
Looks like our former operator at Glenwood is finally having to face the consequences of his destruction in the healthcare industry. I’m hopeful he shows the full path that allowed his misdeeds and theft of resources. Maybe Medical Properties Trust will have a visit next. https://t.co/r2LO3p93wZ
@ag_landry @LADeptHealth Glad y<U+2019>all sharing info. Here is number for folks to call as you pointed out. Keep sharing!! https://t.co/wo8QL8nOex
LA has lower rates of diagnosis of cancer, heart disease and other disease because people are being scared to death and not going to their doctors. Its time to reopen our state and get people the care they need. The death toll w be a large multiple of current covid numbers.

@kalebzmoore @GoodTimesLA @GoodTimesHQ Could have almost had a blackout in last couple of heath and welfare meetings.
Before collapse, Steward Health Care finances bolstered by risky real estate deals - excellent overview of how big this scheme is, time to hold them accountable for hurting people and robbing healthcare systems. https://t.co/WIARzet0M0
