BOSTON — Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre won't comply with a subpoena to appear before a U.S. Senate committee that is investigating the hospital company's bankruptcy, his lawyers said Wednesday.
A federal bankruptcy court on Wednesday approved the sale of Steward's other hospitals in Massachusetts. “Let me be clear: We will not accept this postponement. Congress will hold Dr. de la Torre accountable for his greed and for the damage he has caused to hospitals and patients throughout America,” Sanders said. “This Committee intends to move forward aggressively to compel Dr. de la Torre to testify to the gross mismanagement of Steward Health Care.”Massachusetts U.S. Sens.
“He got rich as private equity and real estate vultures picked apart, and drove into bankruptcy, hospitals that employed thousands of health care workers who served communities in Massachusetts and across the country," the two said in a joint statement. Sanders has said de la Torre became obscenely wealthy by loading up hospitals from Massachusetts to Arizona with billions of dollars in debt and selling the land underneath the hospitals to real estate executives who charged unsustainably high rents.One by one, the students, lawyers and others filed into a classroom in a central Tokyo university for a lecture by a Chinese journalist on Taiwan and democracy — taboo topics that can't be discussed publicly back home in China.
