Find out what Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General had to say. Click here.
From the HHS website:
May 08, 2006 The University of Chicago Hospitals (UCH), Illinois, agreed to pay $35,000 to resolve its liability for CMPs under the patient dumping statute. The OIG alleged that the hospital failed to accept an appropriate transfer of a 61-year-old male who presented to another emergency department with a complaint of flank pain. UCH had specialized capabilities not available at the transferring hospital and allegedly refused to accept transfer after learning that the patient did not have insurance. UCH then later agreed to accept transfer of the patient only if he provided proof of funds in a bank account. The patient was transferred to another hospital where he died.

But surely he'll require a subtitle. So how's this?
"In which I, Barack of O'Bama, demonstrate my lack of presidential judgment by getting into a real estate deal with a radioactive political fixer who got himself indicted, making me look so, so audacious."
The story, by investigative reporters Ray Gibson and David Jackson, ran in Wednesday's Tribune. Click here to read more
Chicago Sun-Times Columnist Carol Marin reports on Obama and Pork. Obama's future might depend on his past
December 17, 2006
BY CAROL MARIN Sun-Times Columnist
Back in the day, long before he was a rising star, long before he addressed adoring crowds, long before he faced a monumental decision, Barack Obama was just another state legislator bringing home the bacon.
The Sun-Times' Mark Brown noted this six years ago in a column on the largess of lawmakers and then-Gov. George Ryan's pork-barrel Illinois First program where Springfield handed out money hand over fist to legislators to give to constituents' pet projects.
Obama, the Hyde Park state senator, got $100,000 for an exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. The topic: The Concept of Time. Click here to read more
