The Billionaire CEO Who Went AWOL: A Tale of Greed and Bankruptcy

Sen. Bernie Sanders is not happy with Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre's decision to ignore a subpoena and skip a hearing. But why is de la Torre so keen to avoid accountability? Is it because he's hiding something? Or is it because he's just not interested in answering to the American people? Whatever the reason, it's clear that de la Torre is more concerned with his own wealth and privilege than with the well-being of the communities his hospitals left behind. But what if de la Torre's decision to ignore the subpoena is actually a clever tactic to avoid being held accountable for his actions? Or what if it's just a sign that he's not willing to take responsibility for his mistakes? The truth is, we'll never know for sure unless de la Torre decides to come clean.But in the meantime, Sanders is determined to hold him accountable, even if it means pursuing contempt charges. Steward Health Care is working to sell off its remaining hospitals, including the ones in Massachusetts. de la Torre's decision to ignore the subpoena is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a symptom of a much larger problem - a problem of greed, corruption, and a complete lack of accountability. We can demand more transparency and accountability from our leaders. We can demand that they put the needs of the people ahead of their own personal interests. And we can demand that they take responsibility for their actions, no matter how difficult it may be. Because in the end, it's not about individual greed or corruption - it's about the well-being of our communities and the people who live in them.
