“A former executive with for-profit hospital chain Prime Healthcare Services has filed a federal whistleblower suit against the California-based company, claiming some of its facilities consistently overcharged the Medicare program.”

http://www.fiercehealthfinance.com/story/prime-healthcare-hit-whistleblower-suit/2014-01-20\ “Whether these business practices are imported to New Jersey or not, one group — New Jersey taxpayers — will unquestionably bear the cost, should any of these sales be approved by the state. Every taxpayer in New Jersey will be saddled with millions of dollars in unpaid debt if Prime is successful in buying hospitals here. The portion of unpaid debt from Saint Mary’s Hospital alone will equal $30 million. Years ago, the state bailed this hospital out of its financial troubles with a loan to ensure the hospital stayed open. Prime’s bid will not assume this debt, and last month, the Department of Health’s State Health Planning Board agreed to those terms, recommending that the sale of Saint Mary’s be allowed to go through. Gov. Chris Christie, the Department of Health and the attorney general should safeguard the community and New Jersey taxpayer interests by seeing that no one walks away with a hospital or its assets without paying full price.”
