Sutter Health intentionally destroyed 192 boxes of documents that employers and labor unions were seeking in a lawsuit that accuses the giant Northern California health system of abusing its market power and charging inflated prices, according to a state judge. In a ruling this week, San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Curtis E.A. Karnow said Sutter destroyed documents “knowing that the evidence was relevant to antitrust issues. … There is no good explanation for the specific and unusual destruction here.” https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lat.ms_2Bqj2Y8&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=EIiwvRoVJ2XeNFA6wYxVrvFQHMtkYbGW62sS_blOKwg&s=k2DL8Dd6nGWxwxgCueD5iPQMfzSO1Noyx-_G9CUoMZs&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lat.ms_2Bqj2Y8-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=EIiwvRoVJ2XeNFA6wYxVrvFQHMtkYbGW62sS_blOKwg&s=ZGvgXv6eICU4OPxn7uLSYmkJz15cUpAtI-MKXXiEjK0&e= SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Sutter Health has been accused of widespread overcharging on people’s bills. Now the company is under fire for destroying large amounts of evidence. “It makes me angry; it makes me angry,” said Christina Sanchez of Sacramento. “It’s just business now I think. I don’t even think they care about us anymore.” https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cbsloc.al_2AA8Yi2&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=EIiwvRoVJ2XeNFA6wYxVrvFQHMtkYbGW62sS_blOKwg&s=NXfZSWZMmRV6txm5MXNz6hIZNnevdL1st0XngSDXdg0&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cbsloc.al_2AA8Yi2-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=EIiwvRoVJ2XeNFA6wYxVrvFQHMtkYbGW62sS_blOKwg&s=Gn4zJNpR9c0hhLRrkQFyRXR_k6kcrXoMLFNCK9mXjLw&e= -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emailcharter.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=EIiwvRoVJ2XeNFA6wYxVrvFQHMtkYbGW62sS_blOKwg&s=P6VEGY7y3zPicylv8FpN5GjRM4lyfiM7zs0LoVQtOpw&e= “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
