Massachusetts officials have admonished the real estate firms for blocking deals on Steward’s hospitals by trying to extract as much money as they can from the process.
“The infighting, this brinkmanship … has led us to the place where we are today. The commonwealth is losing its patience,” said McDonald, the state’s lawyer.
Still unresolved is the issue of funding to keep Steward’s hospitals afloat through the next month. Massachusetts officials have offered $30 million in advance Medicaid payments to help the hospitals continue operating — but only if Steward signs sales agreements for its remaining five hospitals.
