The Steward Saga: Greed, Bankruptcy and the Fallout

Steward Health Care's bankruptcy has left patients, medical professionals, and communities reeling. The Senate HELP Committee is determined to get answers from the man at the center of it all - Dr. Ralph de la Torre. What exactly went wrong with Steward? How could a massive hospital system with 30 facilities across eight states collapse so suddenly? And who's really to blame for this mess? The committee wants to hear directly from those impacted, but getting Dr. de la Torre to testify has proven challenging. The question is: Will he finally show up and explain himself or will he continue to dodge accountability? Either way, the Senate is committed to holding him responsible for his alleged greed and the damage it's caused to patients and the healthcare system as a whole. This hearing promises to be a pivotal moment in understanding how private equity involvement can negatively impact hospital care.
