Private equity and health care are a poor mix. Their goals are almost mutually exclusive: Profit Care vs. Patient Care.
In the words of the authors of a recently published article in the Stanford Law Review, "Private equity's incursion into health care is especially concerning.... While it remains unclear whether private equity investment is fundamentally more threatening to health policy than other forms of acquisition and financial investment ... private equity presents a heightened threat of commercialization." Erin C. Fuse Brown and Mark A. Hall, Private Equity and the Corporatization of Health Care, 76 Stan. L. Rev. 527, 527 (2024).
Keep a clear eye on PE.
The mix of Private Equity and Medicare is examined by Dennis J. Wall in § 18C:6.50 of Volume 2, CATASTROPHE CLAIMS / INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR NATURAL AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS (Thomson Reuters Nov. 2024 Edition, and forthcoming July 2025 Edition).
