As the stomach turns. Half Moon Bay Review/Julia Reis, 11/25/15. "Extension granted on Seton decision."
| Ah, the art of protest leading to potential unintended consequences. |
"California Attorney General Kamala
Harris may take up to an additional two weeks to decide whether to
approve the proposed sale of Daughters of Charity Health System to a New
York-based hedge fund. ... A brief letter from Deputy Attorney General Wendi Horwitz states
that the extension will allow the office to finalize its review of the
transaction. Daughters of Charity agreed to the additional time. ... Harris can approve the
transaction outright, deny it or approve it with conditions.
Daughters of Charity .. struck up a deal with BlueMountain Capital Management LLC. Through that acquisition agreement, BlueMountain would sponsor its own Integrity Healthcare to manage and operate the hospitals. ... BlueMountain could purchase the hospitals outright within three years. ...."... “(The county) made an attempt to buy Seton Coastside (before), and at the time they weren’t interested,” Don Horsley said. “We will probably have to resurrect that offer."

Let's see how badly Kamala screws this deal up.
Kamala Harris is an idiot. She has no clue what she is doing. But ruining this state she has been very good at.
Kamala Harris has to go.
Unfortunately she'll probably go straight to the Attorney General's office.
Unfortunately she will end up at the US Senate instead. She has ruined my medical practice, made it impossible for me to stay in the building I have been in for 15 years, and I will no longer be able to take care of the most unfortunate people in our society who finally got insurance... (such as it is, i.e. Medi-Cal). My payer mixed has nosedived, my volume has doubled, I have lost as my dual eligible patients (medi-medi), and my IPA's volume is down significantly. Ms. Harris, you have sold your SOUL for a seat in the senate. May you go down, as you made the Prime deal go down.
