King failed to meet its contractual duties under the CMS/Medicare contract. These failures were noted on several visits over several years. CMS, consistent with the contract, removed funding. With the lack of funding, Los Angeles County can not run King. There was no reprimand, but a repeated failure to fulfill contractual duties to receive Medicare funding. A reprimand implies some form of a discipline for a transgression, this was much more formal and serious. I certainly understand what you are saying; however, this was not a reprimand.
