CBA Florida Inc. (fka CBAI)

The confusion/disagreement for me is the role of HCA. If you were speculating that HCA and CBAI developed a mega contract for their multiple hospitals, that would be awesome news. Simple yet effective. great news for investors. HCA is a chain of hospitals, many of them acquired by HCA when they get into financial trouble. HCA of course then makes it their business to pressure insurance companies for deep discounts. Creation of the types of partnerships you describe I do not believe is part of their core business. Could be something new but their general goal is to put the big squeeze on insurance companies and reduce costs/make money through provision of basic inpatient/OP hospital services.

All this other interplay between the variety of parties you mention seems a stretch and unrelated to HCA but would enjoy reading any related links. AIMHO
