Private equity blamed for hospital closures and lost emergency care
Original: How private equity is killing public access to hospitals and emergency care
A Washington Post report argues that private equity ownership of hospitals is eroding public access to care, driving closures of facilities and emergency departments. The piece examines how financial practices at investor-owned hospital chains affect patients and communities, adding to a wider debate in the United States over whether profit-driven ownership models are compatible with essential healthcare services.
Why now: Ongoing concern in the US about private equity's growing role in healthcare and its impact on patient access.
