Quote of the Day
“An unfair hit job,” says Healey, “pretty outrageous, a lot of insinuations, a lot of information left out.” says Healey. “I’m incredibly proud of the work done by my administration, and working with the workforce, the unions in these facilities, working with other hospital providers…in the face of bankruptcy, closure of eight hospitals, we were able to save six of those hospitals, 13,000 jobs. Protected the stability of the market for health care, and also, most importantly, drove a really bad guy who’s responsible for all of this, out of Massachusetts.”
As Healey sat for a lengthy yearend interview last week on WBZ-TV, she made no effort to hide how wicked pissed she was at the Boston Globe over the Steward hospital drama.
