There should be no sympathy for lack of character. He compromised principle
for political expedience. We are at this crossroads today because basically good
men were willing to compromise themselves and in doing so compromised us and
the nation. This has been a long time in the making and he saw it coming.
He deserves no sympathy, he knew better.
The media is about to begin the vetting of Rick Santorum[blockquote]
and I suspect we’re going to hear a lot about Universal Health Services (“UHS”). Santorum’s involvement in UHS is one of the significant bits of his private sector experience.
After his 18 point loss in 2006, UHS appointed Rick Santorum to its Board of Directors.
On May 16, 2007, Santorum acquired 10,000 options to purchase Class B common stock. On November 21, 2009, he received another option for 5,000. In 2010, it was options for 15,000 shares and another 15,000 as recently as January 21, 2011, as Santorum begin to entertain thoughts of running for President.

the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a complaint against UHS for billing Medicaid “inpatient psychiatric care that was not provided.”

According to the Department of Justice, UHS “ [took] advantage of troubled children in order to feed their own desire for wealth.”
