You can dig up all the filings by this company, and I THINK I have the correct one, it changed its name on 4/19/2001, and the Yahoo story has the old name of Hospital Corporation of America:
http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0000860730&owner=include


Deducted it's that one from this list:
http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=HCA&CIK=&filenum=&State=&SIC=&owner=include&action=getcompany

The first one listed is the actual name quoted in the Yahoo article, but that one has no filings on record.

So, first we look at the day he sold his stock, June 13:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/860730/000086073005000153/0000860730-05-000153-index.htm

and we find... his attorneys have the power to:

(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of HCA Inc. (the "Company"), Form
ID and Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) and other
sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

So the 3,4,5 tells me he's not subject to the insider trading rules.

Take a look at 1. column 5, that's all the shares it seems.

i'll look more later.
