re: Apparently private equity is buying up small hospitals in LA

As a health care professional, what is happening to healthcare as larger corporations take over is frightening for patient safety.
I live it every day as the CEO and CFO limit my staff to dangerous levels and then throw the remaining staff under the bus when something goes wrong with patient care.
It is dangerous to be a hospitalized patient in today’s world.

And then you have insurance companies like Humana buying up home care companies and pharmacies (CVS) and driving the small town pharmacies and agencies who actually care about their patients out of business. This way they can dictate what is covered and at what price.
