TV and Radio Ads Launched on Hospital CEOs Receiving Excessive Pay and Storing Public Funds in Cayman Islands
Ads Urge Legislators to Demand Accountability and Transparency
BOSTON, MA A TV and radio campaign has been launched to highlight spendthrift hospital CEOs stashing millions of tax dollars in offshore accounts and rewarding themselves with extravagant compensation packages.
The launch of the statewide TV and radio campaign is timed to focus on the end of the legislative session. It urges residents to call their state legislators and demand greater transparency in hospital finances.
The ad shows two hospital CEOs clicking glasses of champagne on a beach in the Cayman Islands and enjoying a lavish taxpayer subsidized lifestyle.
The voiceover describes the billion dollars in profits Massachusetts hospitals enjoy, the millions in tax dollars they receive (more than 50% comes from taxpayer-funded government sources), the exorbitant salaries they pay their CEOs and the refusal by hospitals to disclose how much money they store in the Caymans or how they spend the millions of tax dollars theyre given each year.
FULL story at link.
