I don't dislike Bill Frist as much as some people (though I certainly thought his Schiavo conduct was scummy), and I'm far from an insider-trading-hawk (or whatever people who get worked up about financial improprieties might be called), but this HCA stuff is fishy. And any time the editorial boards of the Washington Post and the New York Times call for an SEC investigation on the same day, it's at least worth a further look.
