Because they and their third world constituancy just caused another hospital to close.
Actually they weren't even mentioned in this AP article, but the underlying cause was most likely the burden that the hospital couldn't meet the Federal requirements.
LOS ANGELES - Federal regulators said Friday that they are pulling $200 million in funding from a troubled hospital that serves one of the city's poorest neighborhoods, forcing it to all but shut down.
The decision came after the county-run Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital failed two federal inspections.
At a news conference late Friday, Los Angeles County's chief medical officer told reporters that the hospital would close its emergency room Friday night and that patients would be moved to other hospitals within two weeks. The emergency room was closed at 7 p.m. Friday.
"We brought every resource to bear, but in the end it just wasn't enough, fast enough," Dr. Bruce Chernof said.
