Senators Demand Accountability from Corizon's Successor Companies

Nine US senators, including Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, and Bernie Sanders, have sent a letter to executives of Corizon's successor companies, YesCare and Tehum Care Services, demanding answers regarding Corizon's bankruptcy and its alleged manipulation of bankruptcy law to avoid paying medical-malpractice lawsuits and debts. The senators criticize Corizon's use of the Texas Two-Step tactic and raise concerns about the company's ownership structure and attempts to evade liability. They urge the companies to provide full relief for claims against Corizon and have given them two weeks to respond to detailed questions. The senators highlight instances of neglect in Corizon's healthcare provision to prisoners and express concern about the opaque ownership behind YesCare and Tehum.
