Massachusetts Attorney General gets $35,000 during failure Senate race from Executives of failing Cathoilic Hospital Chain now must detemine if sale of 6 hospitals to so called investment group-good or bad. Will campaign contributions enter into the equation? You be the judge. Time to watch for potential ethical violation.
Caritas Christi Health Care by a New York speculator or alleged properly so called named "investment" firm. Six so called failure hospitals are involved. These hospitals serve neddy populations. Will the for profit investment firms put profits or patient care first? Another sad commentary to note are all the Catholic Parishners and others who gave and donated over the years figuring good human healthcare with oversight by the Catholic Church leaders?
As for the Office of Attorney general martha Coakley: This is another example of the Office of Attorney General performing and whose functions in many areas are shambles that is mandated by state law which should come under review for Conflicts of Interests and Ethical Standards.
Media hype or Press releases should not be used for damage control or self promotion as Massachusetts Healthcare continues to lag. Will be interesting to see how Coakley handles this one rightly or have her character and Office questioned again.
We all remember the last minute secret Washington fundraiser during her Senate Campaign where the Healthcare Industrial Special Interests opened their checkbooks.
The Attorney General has a long way to go in restoring trust and confidence.
Time for Coakley to Clean Up her Act and her Agency functions on behalf of the citizens. Be a stateswoman for the people and not just another politician temporarily administering government for self service and not public service
Thank You and Congralutlations to Blue Cross for maintaining inefficiency, waste, and mismanagement will continue. The loss of $150 million last year and giving out CEO retirement packages of $16 million why was so low? Hopefully, Blue Cross can do better and this year really achieve the goals of AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns to really sock it to the subscribers and taxpaying business and industries
Good benefits, great salaries, and perks for the corporate executives. Everyone benefits except the subscribers. Blue Cross should work its health plan to be the best in America.
The "BERNIE MADEOFF TRADITION" of shuffle and fool to make sure it continues by less use of their plans of those in need of healthcare to continue to save costs for more $$$ for those in charge....Is not corporate and non-profit greed grand?
Thank You Massachusetts Government and absent regulators for taking care and insuring Healthcare provider gimmicks and costs continue to skyrocket.

MORE PHONY STATE BUDGET CUTS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A FRAUD,FARCE,OR A BAD JOKE THAT IS NOT NECESSARY
MASSACHUSETTS BUDGET CUTS AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!!...WHO IS THE DUMB, DUMBER, DUMBEST? THE GOVERNOR, LEGISLATURE, OR CITIZENS WHO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ACTUAL CRISIS AND NOT ANOTHER COVERUP? IS THIS ANOTHER MAKE BELIEVE SCHEME TO ONCE AGAIN JUSTIFY INEFFICIENCY, WASTE, OR MISMANAGEMENT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GIVING MORE TO THE SPECIAL INTERESTS AND PRESERVING MORE PATRONAGE SPECIAL INTEREST SPENDING FOR INSIDERS AND CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTERS?
Massachusetts Unecessary Budget Cuts Are Another Scheme To Fool The Taxpayers and Citizens
Shame and stupidity prevails on any proposed Massachusetts budget cuts with the Governor cutting budgets even wanting supreme powers to cut at will. This clearly shows an absolute dumbness that only depicts a continual lack of leadership failure with both the House and Senate Leadership enablers being part of the scheme. Unfortunately, most in the media will not report the real facts as always not to antagonize future access to the political elite.
There should be no budget shortfalls and a leaner budget to begin with. Stop feeding the addiction of costly no bid contracts to vendors, providers, and consultants that cost billions of budget taxpayer dollars. The shadow Massachusetts Government of outsourced employees from bought services that are never revealed or discussed should be the first place to start along with their executive perks and salaries. Elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse rampant throughout in several budget areas alone could solve any deficiency. Going after the so called underground economy that flourishes in the state alone means billions of additional revenue.
The elimination of unneeded patronage positions will enable the career dedicated workforce to perform their mandated duties on behalf of the taxpayers and citizens of Massachusetts.
Time for a true line item, subsidiary accounts, object codes, and a scheduling state budget filled with true accountability and oversight devices to regain the trust in government by the citizenry.
These are the solutions in plain talk. The bad taste of the Big Dig, Turnpike, Special Interest Campaign Contributions, and those who practice personal gain instead of the common good has left citizens to be cynical and have no trust in Massachusetts Government.
Reforms are needed now, not yesterday, or tomorrow. Show us there is indeed a crisis and waste, fraud, and abuse has been eliminated openly and honestly then belief in our government will be restored and the citizens will follow.

Herald Reports on new powerful Massachusetts Competitive Partnership big time Special Interest group skirting lobbying laws as the start of legislative law maker influence peddling on Beacon Hill.
This news article shows Special Interests win again and always able to skirt transparency in government operations.
So called reforms in wake of recent legislative lobbying scandals continue and the citizenry left with more Special Interest monies and Power Brokers able to ply self interests above public interest.
The writer of this news article should have recalled Ms. Wilmot of Common Cause was part of the so called public relations politically appointed fact finding group that came up with recommendations that spurred the new weak reforms. She and her group have no cause to now complain.
Time for real reforms in government. Bring back a true WEARD type commission that came about after the Government Center Scandals of the last century. Time for a real sanitation of Massachusetts Government where dedicated Public Service comes first
