HCA Subpoenaed! Frist Stock Deal Likely Cause

The Nashville based HCA has received a subpoenae ordering the company to produce untold documents. The Frist family business states on its website that the action is likely related to the Senate Majority Leader.

It was recently discovered that Senator Frist sold his stock in his family-owned business only a few short weeks before the stock took a disastrous dive.

HCA pled guilty to 14 criminal counts "for filing fraudulent Medicare reports and paying doctors kickbacks for referrals" five years ago.
