@pbsnews: How private equity's increasing role in health care is affecting patients Economics correspondent Paul Solman is exploring the impact on communities in Massachusetts after a private equity firm bought struggling hospitals. In his second report, he looks at how private equity's increasing role in health care is affecting patients. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #healthcare #privateequity #news #stewardhealthcare #massachusetts #hospitals #finance
“Reduce costs and increase profits” in HEALTHCARE means not properly treating patients. This is the same as Health Insurance “increasing profits” by denying claims.

This is why Citizens United must be overturned. We need legislators who will regulate these massive PE Firns and Corps. They have nothing to lose w/o our forcing their hands.

So we keep paying more for health insurance and the hospital doesn’t have the funds to take care of us because rich people want to be richer. Who knew.

We need legislation that protects us against private equity. We need to make it so hard for private equity to buy anything that they stop existing.
