From: US Attorney Firing: Voter Fraud, Medicare Fraud, WHICH IS IT ???
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=853813&mesg_id=862205

Tenet was facing, on May 10, a (quoting Kyle Sampson's May 11 e-mail) "real problem we have right now with Carol Lam"

"Despite the disclosure that the jurors were never close to a unanimous decision, it is still unclear whether the government will attempt a third trial against Tenet. According to U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, the government will report to the court as to whether there will be a third trial, which announcement is expected on May 22, 2006......"

Release of May 17, 2006 - Office of Inspector General
Tenet Agrees to Divest Alvarado Hospital

Inspector General Daniel R. Levinson announced today that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Tenet Healthcare Corporation reached an agreement concerning Tenet’s divestiture of Alvarado Hospital Medical Center (Alvarado). This agreement resolves OIG’s possible exclusion of Alvarado from participation in Medicare and all other Federal health care programs.

On May 8, 2006, OIG notified Tenet that OIG intended to propose to exclude Alvarado based on Alvarado’s alleged payment of kickbacks to physicians.

Last word from Conyers:
