How Private Equity Makes Us Sicker. Tuesday, October 18, 7:30-9:00 PM via Zoom

https://cepr.net/events/how-private-equity-makes-us-sicker/

Wall Street actors pose an increasing threat to the passage of single-payer healthcare, which has seen a dramatic surge in popularity among patients, healthcare professionals, and the American public more generally. The increased penetration by Wall Street investors into every sector of healthcare has shifted incentives further away from actual care of patients. And, as financial actors increase their control of healthcare services, their political influence against single payer grows too.

Our speakers will discuss their decades of research that has demonstrated how Wall Street and corporate ownership of healthcare has led to worse healthcare outcomes, more inequitable access for patients, and moral injury to physicians and other healthcare workers.

As always, we will have Q&A with our panel and Calls to Actions.
