They've been doing the same thing to Hospitals for years...

Budget decisions that affect whether people will live or die are hindered by having to pay rent to the company that owns you and is also your landlord.

You owned the building before they showed up with all their money and fake promises.

Well this explains why a bunch of hospitals went bankurpt in MA recently. What a horrible way to make money.

Yup, the CEOs are trying to blame covid, but regarding NE Sinai in Stoughton:

The healthcare company blamed “skyrocketing expenses” related to labor, material costs due to inflation, and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its decision to close the hospital. Steward also said that it owed about $50 million in unpaid rent.

What’s ridiculous, is that the hospitals can’t do a rent strike if the landlords also own the hospital.

A bunch of fucking sharks. (Insert unlimited shrimp joke here).
