Caritas is the 2nd largest health care system in all of New England. The people of Massachusetts in particular rely on Caritas to provide quality health care at reasonable prices. Martha Coakley is involved in approving the sale of Caritas to Cerberus Capital Management.
A quick look reveals that Cerberus is part of the same Wall Street Capitalist Jerks who have run our economy into the ground and made billions in the process.
And that's not at all. Cerberus is best-known for having DAN QUAYLE as a board member, senior adviser, and Chairman of their global operations. Yes, Dan Quayle – obviously a man known for caring so much about the little people.
It's unbelievable to me that the people of Massachusetts will let this deal go through. Selling Caritas Christi to Dan Quayle is not my idea of fair, accessible, and quality health care for all. Sounds more like a bunch of chumps trying to get rich while the rest of us suffer.
Shame on you Martha Coakley if you surrender our health care so easily to people who only care about their bank accounts.
It fails to recognize Caritas’s financial straits, including the large unfunded pension liability, and it fails even to argue that from the perspective of the patient care will decrease in quality after the transaction. I gather that there is a real issue having to do with the specifically Catholic quality of what Caritas does, but that’s not really spelled out in the post, either. In fact, I’m not sure what you’re upset about other than Dan Quayle’s presence on the board.

Look, TedF, you demand all these extra arguments from the post’s author, but would you not agree that Dan Quayle is, as a matter of principle, objectionable?

…is to make sure the sale is legal. I don’t think it’s her place to pass judgement regarding who sits on the board. Bringing up Dan Quayle seems a rather week argument IMO. The real question is does the potential buyer have any record of acting illegally.
