"It is time for Dr. de la Torre to get off his yacht and to explain to Congress the financial chicanery, which made him extremely wealthy while the hospitals he managed went bankrupt. It is time for Congress to hold Dr. de la Torre accountable for his extreme greed," said Sanders."We understand the desire for increased transparency around our journey and path forward," the company said.
