That’s the Kaiser Permanente way… and arguably, it works pretty well.
I wouldn’t touch that hospital in that county with a 10 foot pole.
That county executive already passed up help from the state because the state was going to take over the facilities and the county council wouldn’t be able to sell it off to developers — a major source of slush in that local government.
He’s looking to physicians either because he’s in bed with some of them to milk the benefits of selling the property, or because he thinks they are dumb enough he can convince them to invest while the county council figures out a way to profit from the property.
Physicians may do good jobs of running hospitals, but I don’t think that would be the one to try it out on.
