The obscenely rich CEO of Steward Health Care , a for-profit network formed with private equity backing, violated a subpoena on Thursday by declining to testify at a Senate hearing on how mismanagement of the now-bankrupt hospital system harmed patient care.
The Steward CEO's defiance of the panel's subpoena led Sanders to announce Thursday that he 'will be asking the committee to report a resolution to authorize civil enforcement and criminal contempt proceedings against Dr. de la Torre requiring compliance with the subpoena.'A hearing on the proposed contempt resolution is scheduled for next week.
