    John - send me your email and phone. I am tracking our own Hospital District in Lake County. Have you sent any of your info to Governor Scott's Hospital District Investigation Commission? I have been there once and have the contact info, but need your email to communicate.

    FYI:
    Joe Rodgers and Brian Ulery, both of whom were involved in physician services have resigned from Broward Health. They will take their talents (of overpaying doctors and losing money) to join ex Broward General CEO James Thaw, in Athens, Georgia.

      Yes but what are the repercussions for the corrupt physicians who accepted the kickbacks? Last I checked they all remain there, enjoying their fat paychecks courtesy of our tax dollars. The corruption is vertically integrated. Changing heads doesn't stop the corruption in place.
