		<description>It really floors me after reading all these posts, that none of you care about all the mismanagement of the money that&#039;s going on.  
Did you know that Southern Inyo Drugs were funneled through TDH?  Isn&#039;t this illegal?  
As we were being sued by a pharmaceutical company for failure to pay, you just seem to sweep it under the rug.  
And as a loan to Southern Inyo cooked up by HCCA (Benzeevi) of $200,000 was then increased to $500,000 without board approval, you all seem to think that&#039;s ok.  
I bet they gave that paper of that motion to Linda Wilbourn to read from because if she had written herself she wouldn&#039;t have sad, &#039;oh&#039; when she got to the part that stated the loan was increased.....it was NOT paid back in July as stated,,,it was extended in July.  
But I guess you don&#039;t care about all of that......
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT THE CITIZENS FOR HOSPITAL ACCOUNTABILITY ARE LOOKING AT SINCE NONE OF YOU EVER BRING ANY OF THAT UP!  
excuse me for NOT being a low information voter!</description>

		<description>Di... I have read it time and time again &quot; Get rid of HCCA&quot; from Citizen for Hospital Accountability.  To me that means they want to get rid of all the Staff at TRMC ,because the staff is HCCA.  I would be livid at Citizens for Hospital Accountability for not caring about these hard working people. Is Citizens for Hospital accountability going to pay their mortgage , daycare  or food bill once they get rid of HCCA.  I can answer that NO!!  

If Citizens for Hospital Accountability is successful in shutting this hospital down then HCCA would have no choice but to build else where. 
Once again HCCA would be looking out for the Best interest of the Employees,unlike Citizens for hospital  accountability.

Deanne Martin Soares will you be paying the staffs bills.. Albert Aguilar will you.. NO!!You can get rid of HCCA, but with that they take all the hard working Staff.. I&#039;m going to bet these employees never thought of that.. 

Furthermore, HCCA is the company that saved all these Jobs.  They are the reason the staff still gets paid in-spite of all the Lies you have told.  

Citizens For Hospital Accountability in my opinion =
LIES-LIES-LIES-LIES-LIES</description>

		<description>Kass - So you think it is Okay for HCCA to take all of Tulare employees call them HCCA employees then not allow them to work for the hospital for 3 years if they split.

Some have been at that hospital more time then HCCA has even existed but they want to take them away from Tulare. They were Tulare employees first, Tulares best people. Not HCCA. And In the last News Article you said HCCA may even build a HCCA hospital.

Is that bringing the public hospital back to the public. Steal Tulare Hospitals best people and building a privately owned hospital. No one person who is not being paid by HCCA would think that is Okay. &quot; Let&#039;s be real&quot;

And I do not forget the 28 people they laid off. Maybe you do since your job must of been safe. But at least Mr Germany gets to be reimbursed for his Jamba Juice. Do they reimburse you too.</description>

		<description>&quot;ONE SIDED&quot;  now that&#039;s The Pot Calling The Kettle Black.  That&#039;s laughable.  

Di- it seems that everyone who disagrees is either an employee or an Employee...well I&#039;m NOT!!! 

Di let&#039;s be realistic.  When you say &quot; The Community Voted&quot; please tell the people this is a small district with a section of even smaller registered voters.  In my opinion Citizens for Hospital Accuntability manipulated and lied to this small group of voters  with the intentions  of  misleading them.  Just like when you say the &quot;Community Voted&quot; again &quot;misleading&quot; &quot;Lies&quot;  you make it as if the whole  65,000+ Citizens of Tulare Voted. Let&#039;s be real 

Di- many many hospitals and other types of businesses  have such terms in their contracts.  I&#039;m not sure why that is awkward to you. 
I know that if I were HCCA I would want my employees to follow me if I were to start up a new enterprise such as a New Hospital... Completely reasonable. 

 Citizens for Hospital Accountability please stop Lying to the Community.</description>

		<description>Kass It seems obvious that you are somehow tied with HCCA, you are very one sided? Do they pay you per post, do they let you write yourself Do they just give you talking points?

When the community votes almost 2 of 3 majority you say the community were bamboozled. No They saw through your smoke screen.

I guess you must Remember that HCCA cares about its Tulare employees so much that it made sure you could not be able to work at the hospital for three years if HCCA had to leave. If you are an employee Maybe that is your motivation?

The employees and paid people at Save Trmc may talk about ego motivation for the other side, but how do you sleep when selling a whole district community hospital down and benefitting your own finances?</description>

		<description>This is from a Site called &quot; SAVE TRMC&quot;. Very good information to  consider when making a decision .  


It&#039;s unfortunate that yet again in TDH history, a small group motivated by ego and financial gain have managed to bamboozle our great community yet once again.  When the people who are behind this so called Citizens for Hospital Unaccountability were in charge, the hospital lost millions of dollars, wasted the 85 million dollars bond and left the Hosital in shambles.  In fact, the hospital was losing money the last three years of Deanne Martin Soares term in the Board (check it out, it&#039;s all public information) and her final gift to the Hosital was a federal OIG investigation, a huge fine, and five years of federal probation - all for inappropriate physician contracts which by the way include the very physicians they now want to bring back.  HCCA on the other hand picked up a failing bankrupt hospital and made it profitable in spite of the boycott by these very physicians.  And HCCA was able to save our new tower.  Check out the facts for yourself.</description>
