Jeb Bush's Wealth Linked To Tenet Healthcare, Other Companies That Did Business With Florida

The New York Times reviews the finances of the former Florida governor, who has been critical of officials who trade on their connections. Elsewhere on the trail, Marco Rubio's calls for a repeal of the health law resonate with conservatives. And Hillary Clinton blasts the Iowa governor's plan to move to Medicaid managed care.

A sizable chunk of his earnings is attributable to Mr. Bush’s work with three companies — Tenet Healthcare, Lehman Brothers (later Barclays) and Rayonier Inc. — that had business interests with the state while he was governor. In April 2007, four months after leaving office, Mr. Bush was named to the board of Tenet, which paid him more than $2 million in cash and stock over the next eight years, according to the company’s public filings. Florida was among Tenet’s biggest markets. (Flegenheimer and Eder, 10/20)

[Marco Rubio] drew his loudest applause in conservative Utah with calls to repeal President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care law and beef up military spending. About 300 people attended the indoor rally at fairgrounds in Salt Lake City, about a mile away from the headquarters of the Mormon church. (Price, 10/19)

Hillary Clinton is wading into the controversy over Gov. Terry Branstad’s decision to hand over management of Iowa’s Medicaid program to private corporations. The Democratic presidential candidate has routinely drawn applause on the campaign trail for denouncing the Republican governor’s earlier decision to close two state mental institutions. On Tuesday, she ripped his plan to hire four national corporations to run the Medicaid program, which provides health coverage for more than 500,000 poor or disabled Iowans. (Leys, 10/20)
