dr. michael hart nenet. i do not practice at st. luke's, but i do practice in the community and took care of a lot of indigent patients that have lower reimbursements. i know how difficult it is to run an office when you are with metical patients -- medi cal patients. the building's owners are planning to raise the rents significantly for the existing physicians and not only that, they are charging retroactive increases as much as five years. there are also adding fees for use of the hallways and after- hours office visits. to me, it's obvious that sutter is trying to drive out the community physicians that are barely making a living when there office -- in their office as it is. they're planning not to -- planning to have the right to refuse these physicians to sign a new leases. in my opinion, as someone who has had experience taking care of these poor patients, they will have no doctor to get to and i'm wondering if sutter is retaliating against physicians practicing at st. luke's and are expressing their concerns to the plan. th
