Florida to allow doctors to perform C-sections outside hospitals

25. Private equity should be outlawed for healthcare.

Their business model is to strip assets, have minimal staff to control costs, and when the profits are not outrageous enough sell what is left.

A private equity hospital chain is being kicked out of Massachusetts because the owners bought expensive jet planes to ferry investors and top managers all over the world instead of paying their bills. The state finally learned about the lack of equipment in the hospitals when a pregnant patient died after delivery because the equipment needed to save her life had been repossessed for nonpayment of the lease. Hers was a normal delivery but complications got serious very quickly, and she died. Private equity is just another form of rapacious capitalism, but one where people can die.
