Morning Brad...I thought you had gone on vacation, so it is good to see you around.

Concerning Columbia and the Texas dude...I left that part out on purpose. But since that is on the table I will update that part of the sordid story.

The Texas dude is Richard Rainwater, the 'rain-maker' from Ft. Worth. The same Rainwater that by some strange miracle sought out an investor in a project, an investor that had turned gold into dust with every deal he had been involved. But still Rainwater brought him into a deal that ultimately made the individual a multi-millionaire.And who was this mystery man that got in on the Texas Ranger baseball team with a paltry amount of money from stock he sold in Harken Oil just before it announced that their future was shaky...aka..bailing before sharing horrible news to non-insiders.......that person being George W. Bush.

1) The Frist entity was Hospital Corporation of America.
2) Rainwater founded Columbia.
3) Hospital Corporation and Columbia did merge.
4) As for Frist selling his stake, I'm not sure about that. I think it was placed in a trust and then there was a question about when he unloaded it from the trust. I will have to check on that issue.
5) The point of my message to IJ was that hospitals and insurance companies are taking excessive amounts out for CEO compensation, and I think you would agree that they use every gambit to deny paying their claims..thus impacting you doctors!
