At the center of the McAlester hospital’s collection efforts for decades has been Hackler & Hackler.
[. . . ]
For years, the Hacklers’ debt collection cases were often heard by Judge James Bland, who has retired from the bench and now sits on the hospital board. Bland didn’t respond to an inquiry for interview.
Sounds legit!
Howard, the hospital CEO, said he couldn’t discuss the lawsuits either. He said he didn’t know the hospital took its patients to court. “I had to call and ask if we sue people,” he said.
Howard also said he didn’t know Deborah Hackler: “I never heard her name before.”
Either the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing or this dude is full of shit.
Every place run by conservatives is rife with open corruption.
This is the main reason why a lot of conservatives are conservatives, because fundamentalist morons who are scared out of their minds by benign things like blue hair and nose rings are super easy marks once you get all the regulators and teachers and anybody else who might call out your bullshit out of the way
this is funny because im from illinois which is known for corruption but mainly because we prosecute it.
Red states don’t favor universal healthcare. Leopards, attack!
