Richard Carmona 's bio does not look good. His personal sounded good until he went to Washington. DC.
Even though he was only there for a year, under
Carmona’s watch the Pima County Health System saw their debt increase by 28
percent and he was forced to resign.
“The Pima County Healthcare system’s debt has
jumped 28 percent in the last year and is expected to top $46 million by the end
of the fiscal year in June. … [Richard Carmona] the embattled head of the Pima
Healthcare system offered his resignation on the eve of a board of supervisors
meeting at which he might have been fired.” (“Pima County’s Health Care Debt
Growing,” The Associated Press, 4/28/99)
"Just like his recruiter President Barack Obama, Richard Carmona
knows how to drive an organization like the Pima County Health System deeper
into debt,” said Arizona Republican Party spokesman Tim Sifert.
“Given Carmona’s big spending ways, it’s clear that if he gets back to
Washington he’ll just be a reliable vote for President Obama’s agenda of more
spending and higher taxes." watch the short video
