Few people in and around Texas know that if you go to the hospital in Liberty County, taxpayers in Liberty County will foot the bill.
The Liberty Hospital started out like any other community hospital and operated for years. Then one day the hospital started not paying its bills. With the hospital employers paying themselves more than the hospital could bill- the Obama Syndrome began.
To the rescue comes C. Bruce Stratton a local and some say a very liberal Democrat attorney. Stratton envisioned a hospital district that would tax the land owners in Liberty County and then reimburse the hospital when indigent or non-paid medical bills accrued.
In a strange twist of events, the formed hospital district waited until the hospital owners were in such poor financial shape they could swoop in and threaten civil legal action and with threats of trumped up criminal indictments by Liberty County DA Mike Little. Liberty County, notorious for shake downs, cartels and selective prosecutions, the hospital owners turned tail and ran.
In steps C. Bruce Stratton and company... (hospital district) his quandary was how to take over ownership of the hospital by the hospital district without the district actually owning the hospital. You see, one of the bylaws of the hospital district was that it plays an erroneous role in support of liberal/democrat funding acts, not ownership of the hospital.
In a criminal flash of inspiration, C. Bruce Stratton creates a series of shell corporations which effectively steal the hospital and sell it for a token amount to the shell corporation/s, a series and layers of corporations which eventually down the line of shells stop at a corporation owned by the hospital district.
Liberty County taxpayers have unwittingly been duped into owning a machine built and designed to provide termed medical treatment to anyone who traipses through Liberty County with or without money for treatment.
The money banked from taxpayers as scalped by the Liberty Hospital District is a financial formula for disaster and one diametrically opposed by our Republican Party, TEA Party and conservative platform.
When indigents find out about this free medical hospital, illegals and others from far and wide will come to have free childbirths and procedures.
The future of this taxpayer scheme is unknown but… what we know for sure is that a legally questionable entity has been created to get an ever increasing amount of our money and for generations to come.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! Taxpayers dollars leaking into a marginal enterprise never meant to be government owned. The names Stratton and Pickett will be known for years ato come as they continue to expand this money-sucking investment at our expense.
Their new argument: Too big to fail. If this is such a good deal why did the former owners duck and run? Was it the threat of D.A.Mike Little potential indictment power? Or was it not wanting to be out of towners fighting the local people?
More of Little's cronyistim that uses our resources to help their littkle group.
there is no such THING as a free lunch, there is NO such thing as a free lunch, there is no SUCH thing as a free lunch...
Thank You Ray for commenting on this Fiasco of a Hospital District. This is one of the reasons Liberty is being over run by illegals. This plot to take control of the old Hospital was a lawyers dream deal,with this many different Shell companies they can move our TAX money around several times and guess which shell it is under. Pobably in someones pocket.
The previous owners ran because they were slimy criminals, and they are the ones who ran this hospital to the ground. They are the ones who never paid the bills. And, they are the ones who never paid their employees their last paychecks. They ran, hid and closed all their bank accounts. Because they are chicken and don't have the you know whats to own up to their actions.
