Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell called Steward Healthcare's financial crisis a “tragic situation,” and said “everything is in doubt” as her office gathers more information about the for-profit hospital chain's finances. It's on the table,” he told NBC10 Boston's @Issue.
“They need to be more transparent,” Campbell told Corey Smith and Sue O'Connell about the stewards. “(We keep) asking for more information, more documentation. We have the tools to be able to do that.”
“While we cannot discuss all the details of the strategy at this stage as it is a work in progress, (we are) providing the necessary information not only for the immediate steps of providing quality care, but also for the immediate steps of providing quality care. “We're asking them to release the information that the state needs.'' “But also what the responsibility is for them.'' Everything is on the table as soon as we have more information.'' We would like to emphasize that as people contact our office to file complaints, we will consider the full range of civil, criminal, and remedies available to us.'' Stewards have no right to create a situation. I have a responsibility. ”
Campbell also told @Issue about her office's lawsuit against the Town of Milton, which voted not to follow the MBTA Community Act.
“It's unfortunate that a select few people, including some people on the (Milton) Planning Commission, are trying to oppose implementation of this mandatory law,” Campbell said.
“Obviously, we are in a housing crisis. Housing is also a way to close the racial wealth gap. Housing affects a lot of things. This is an important issue if we want our economy to continue to grow and continue to grow.''This is an effective tool, a bipartisan effort, that will not only build on our successes, but also address the housing crisis.'' It also helps you truly deal with. ”
