This cartoon relates to the fact that the Commonwealth Health Center has been placed on "immediate jeopardy" not once, but in three separate notices. Each one seems focused on more serious and problematic issues than the one before. At one point after they came out, the newspapers reported how some of the Board members were over at CHC trying to find the CEO, who was not there. I "borrowed" the lobster content from other Administration figures (press secretary Angel Demapan, insider trading ex-official Mike Ada, the Governor). The politics makes ordinary people lose their appetite.

This editorial cartoon was inspired by comments in the Variety after the first "immediate jeopardy" notice was issued to CHC by CMS (the federal medicaid/medicare inspectors). Juan Nekai Babauta, CEO of Commonwealth Health Center had plans to attend some conference off-island. There was no subsequent report that he actually left island, but he has travelled so often during his public life, including as CEO of CHC while it was deteriorating to its present near-collapse, that his travel-love and callous disregard of CHC make this pictorial comment valid.
