Special Thanks to The State of Minnesota Attorney General's Office - Lori Swanson, Attorney General and Virginia Clark.

George Halvorson, current CEO of Kaiser Health Plan and Hospitals,  a non profit HMO and the Permanente Medical Group  was found to be funding a lavish lifestyle off of patient money while employed at Kaiser partner organization, HealthPartners of Minnesota. HealthPartners is also designated by the I.R.S. as a non profit, public benefit corporation!

Halvorson went and took a job with Kaiser rather than stick around and take the heat from getting caught with his shady dealings in Minnesota. You decide if he brought his special business practices
from Minnesota to California.

Exhibit 14 - Corporate Receipts for Massage Therapist Services during Board Meetings.  

CONCLUSION TO VOL I REPORT - TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT -

"He states that he was immediately confronted with resistance, with complaints ranging from
"this is in lieu of higher compensation" to "everybody is doing it." He noted that health care executives will be pressured to please peers and subordinates who are accustomed to a culture of luxury. Accordingly, in an effort to create an environment of fiscal prudence, it is recommended that, for each month during the first six months following this report, the chair file a report with this Office which itemizes the expenses incurred in these areas. It is hoped that, after a six month period of fiscal prudence, the need for further reporting will
be eliminated. "
