Health Management Associates is a defunct Arkansas-based company involved in a blood-management scandal during the 1980s. ==HMA scandal== The Health Management Associates Scandal refers to the sale of tainted blood from HMA (a now defunct American company based in Arkansas) to Canadian blood banks. HMA was contracted by the state of Arkansas to provide health care to prisoners in the state of Arkansas in the early to mid-1980s. This arrangement allowed HMA to collect blood from the prisoners. The blood, some of it proven to be infected with HIV and hepatitis C, was found in the Canadian blood supply. It was not found in American supplies because of a ban on prisoner blood use. The president of HMA at that time was Leonard Dunn, a close friend of Bill Clinton and Vincent Foster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arkansas Bloodsuckers » CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names )〕 He chaired Clinton's re-election campaign and was appointed by Clinton to the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. In 1993, a Canadian Commons Committee released a request for a public inquiry into HMA's actions in the 1980s. Foster committed suicide two months later, on July 20, 1993. Conspiracy theorists have tried to link his death to HMA and the Whitewater Scandal to prove he was murdered. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Health Management Associates (Arkansas company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
