with hundreds of adverse findings against the organization. Among other things, the review found that top executives at the company spent tens of millions of dollars on golf trips, parties, beachfront condominiums, maid service for executives, spas, image consultants, executive enrichment and unearned executive bonuses, foreign travel, consultants, and gifts. Hatch issued a report stating that conflicts of interest within the organization resulted in Medica HMO's premium dollars being diverted to shore up the financial position of Allina's corporate headquarters, resulting in higher premiums for policyholders. Hatch urged Allina to split into two companies, separating Medica, an HMO with one million members, from Allina, which ran 19 hospitals and 48 clinics. Three days later, Allina announced that it would split off HMO Medica from its hospitals and clinics. The CEOs of Allina and Medica soon departed. The new Allina chairman agreed that the lavish spending and executive perks were wrong for a nonprofit health care system. Allina and Medica then entered into a regulatory agreement with Hatch to curb conflicts of interest and inappropriate expenditures. The Rochester Post Bulletin wrote, "Mike Hatch is performing a genuine public service in giving people an insight into some of the spending habits and accounting practices of Allina Health System." The Canby News wrote, "Attorney General Mike Hatch was absolutely within his rights to go after Allina Health System on grounds that golf trips, $800,000 consultant fees, health spas and so on are way outside the lines of delivering health care." The Star Tribune noted that "Hatch has changed the rules of the game for an industry used to a quiet, low-key scrutiny." Hatch then launched a compliance review of HealthPartners, another nonprofit HMO, in 2001. The yearlong compliance review found that executives ate lavish meals, traveled the world, gave gifts of Waterford crystal, and engaged in inappropriate entertainment spending inconsistent with the mission of an HMO. A Star Tribune editorial from the time said, "It is remarkable that HealthPartners would spend money on exotic foreign travel…or overtly political opinion polling at a time when executives knew that their industry was under scrutiny, and it is imperative that health-care executives understand that Minnesotans expect a higher standard of stewardship." The Rochester Post-Bulletin wrote, "The business practices he cites would be wrong in any company, but they are particularly objectionable in a non-profit company in the health care field." HealthPartners agreed to new spending restrictions
