william brangham has the story. william: geoff, steward health care's ceo, dr.oday's hearing where he would've been questioned about his role in the bankruptcy of this nationwide hospital chain. according to an investigation by the boston globe, steward health's 30-plus hospitals were some of the worst in the nation. six of its remaining hospitals in massachusetts are for sale and two others have closed. several witnesses who worked for steward provided damning testimony today about the role that corporate profits played in steward's downfall. that included a nurse who described one example of how the chain's habit of not paying vendors created horrible circumstances for grieving parents. >> sadly enough, sometimes babies die. newborn babies die. and the practice is to place the babies's remains in a bereavement box and take it to the morgue. stuart didn't pay the vendor and they weren't any bereavement boxes and nurses were forced to put baby's remains in cardboard shipping boxes. william: for more on the downfall of this hospital chain, i'm joined by mark arse
