Talk:Universal Health Services/Archives/2012

Puff Piece
Someone more familiar than I with this subject should weigh in with some balance. There is a recent Huffington Post Article noting that Rick Santorum is on the board. Ironically, UHS also owns PRIDE Services, an LGBT psychiatric provider. According to HP, "During Santorum's tenure on the UHS board, state documents and court records show, patients at UHS health care facilities have endured systemic failures that have cost millions in court settlements. In several instances, the company and its subsidiaries have been threatened with losing the ability to take in federally-subsidized patients. At various times, states have stopped sending children to UHS facilities. And in the last few years, the King of Prussia, Pa.-based mega-company has been the subject of two Department of Justice lawsuits accusing the chain of fraud."

 * I dialed down some of the "puffery" and added a section noting some of the legal issues. I used a source another than HuffPo, however, as HuffPo is considered quite partisan (against conservative politicians/issues) and is more mass market than authoritative.--Brian Dell (talk) 09:04, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
