Okay but that will affect hospital profits and our PE firms bought these hospitals specifically to wrench all redundancy out of these systems in the name of efficiency (higher margins and thus profit) so that just won't do.



Private equity people need to start getting multiple life sentences for fucking around with shit like this. It's unironically a national security issue.


1. Hospitals should not make profits.

2. Hospitals should not have executives.

3. Hospitals should be community funded with backstop by the federal government.

4. PE is a cancer - let the doctors treat it.


Doctors can't even own hospitals now. Doctor-owned hospitals were banned with the passage of Obamacare in order to placate big hospital systems concerned about the growing competition.
