		<description>If this is true I for one will be filing a complaint against HCCA with the state over unpaid wages. HCCA may also decide to file for bankruptcy though Chapter 9 would not be available to them. But if they do, I sure hope the private jet is in HCCAs name.</description>

		<description>I heard the same thing..
According to my friend, crooked Benny called a meeting and told the employees that he did not know when the board was going to fund him to pay the employees?

So he said he will pay as money comes in starting with the lower wage employees working up – same as last time. He also said he was thinking of temporarily shutting down the hospital. Out of around 100 employees at the meeting, tsome 30ish walked out with a F@#K Y*&#038; to crooked Benny. And they were not low level wage employees.

I understand the guy is losing it now – mentally- as he also said he has not slept in 3 days.

He continues to claim the board has the information for his loans….

This guy is cracking up and the hospital employees need HELP!!</description>

		<description>Think about this folks.

If a bigger corporate entity like Adventist, Dignity, Kaiser comes in, here is where it will get interesting:

1. They would be glad to &quot;manage the hoapital&quot;, and take in current employees for about a year.

2. Then they are going to want the &quot;the whole thing&quot;. This includes buying up the remainder of hoapital, because they are for profit, and thus eliminating the Board because you can&#039;t collect taxes on a for profit. 

While I am an employee, and stability is key here, the Board and City taxpayers need to see what could be potential here. You could lose your rights as citizens if this comes about. I believe each community member and Board member is essential to finding solutions to get this fixed. I just would hate to see the community lose their voice down the road. You all have fought hard for proper peraons to represent on the Board.</description>
