I think you’re getting hung up on a small detail. Yeah, the original post does imply it’s Cerberus charging rent, but nuances like this are hard to convey in the format and I don’t think it matters to the overall point. Cerberus still sold the real estate, made huge amount of money and left the physicians to foot the bill (never mind making the physicians take out a huge load to buy back control).
That makes no sense. How can an entity own the hospital, sell the land and then charge the hospital it owns rent?
Here’s what really happened. https://www.axios.com/2024/03/06/hospital-debacle-private-equity-cerberus-steward
Still shit? Abso-fucking-lutely! But it’s actually real and makes sense.
But that says the same thing, just in more detail.
No it’s different. The sold them, agreed to lease them back, failed to pay the lease and then left someone else holding the bag.
