The invasion of private equity and other corporate criminals into the health industry has put a deteriorating healthcare system on life support. COVID made a bad situation a shit show. With only 5% of the world’s population and the biggest healthcare budget in the world, the U.S. is also first in the number of COVID cases and deaths. It’s clear that COVID isn’t the only perp. Could part of the answer be the 89 million uninsured or underinsured Americans that have been victimized by corporate honchos chasing profits? Or does it come down to a $4 trillion healthcare market, 20% of U.S. GDP, that has motivated a corporate gold rush? With 24% of hospitals under private ownership, more than half of emergency room physicians working for private, profit-making companies, 70% of nursing homes and 47% of doctors’ practices owned by private companies, America’s healthcare woes began long before COVID and will outlast it.
