I don't know much about this particular case, but I know that Sutter Health is a reckless, ruthless, predatory company that is a not-for-profit in name only, and uses all the same tactics that PE companies use to take over and leverage hospitals to expand its network. They don't care about their patients, as evidenced by their dispute with Blue Shield a few years ago (previous story: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/04/07/473253558/big-california-firms-take-on-health-care-giant-over-cost-of-care https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/04/07/4732535...) where many thousands of users were left with no insurance coverage and kicked out of their groups while Sutter engaged in brinkmanship while negotiating with Blue Shield.
