Sutter Health's high prices, predatory treatment of uninsured patients and lack of adequate charity care have recently brought much attention to the company. Even though it is legally a non-profit health system, Sutter now faces many of the same issues that have plagued major for-profit healthcare systems over the last several years. Sutter's recent dispute with the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), an ongoing investigation of anti-trust issues by the Federal Trade Commission, critiques of its charity care practices by government officials, lawsuits, and other patient care issues have promoted widespread public concern over Sutter's actions. This website was created to keep investors, who have purchased more than a billion dollars in Sutter's corporate bond debt, informed about recent activity concerning Sutter Health.
