Reader Joseph Nardone adds:
As an opponent of the closing, I would like to refer people to 2 web sites: Wherethemoneygoes.com and HospitalProfits.com. Both web sites show how much money Catholic Health East makes as a non-profit organization. In fact, Where the Money reports in an excellent article that CHE is now in the billionaires club which means that CHE can keep both St. James and Columbus open. CHE is in it for the money. Cathedral Health Systems was fined 5.6 million dollars by the Dept. of Justice for overcharging Medicare. Check the DOJ web site. Remember these are religious organizations who are suppose to help the poor and less fortunate but they are in it for the money. Way to go Catholic Archdiocese of Newark!
