ON THIS DAY

On Jan. 26, 1950, India officially proclaimed itself a republic as Rajendra Prasad took the oath of office as president. (ie India, as a Republic, is only 55 years old ! )

......interestingly... in today's news is a story about Richard Scrushy, the founder of HeathSouth Corp....see references in the book *Critical Conditions* pgs 80-86,111.
The subtitle of this book is "How Health Care in America Became Big Business & Bad Medicine" a quote from page 81:
" "I want to be the highest-paid CEO in the world" Scrushy boasted. "
According to the authors, HealthSouth has [had?] eleven jets, the largest private fleet at Birmingham [Alabama] International Airport.........
Find this book in your local library or buy pre-owned from B & N or Ebay......
Pay attention. Your tax dollars, if you are a working American, via Medicaid/ Medicare helped create this Fortune 500 corporation.
