Delighted to have my piece on private capital and financialization in healthcare up live today!
In her new Forefront article, @JessLAndersen from @RutgersU discusses how the call to leverage private capital in health care is, on its face, enticing. However, she argues, private capital does not prioritize systemwide efficiency or patient needs.

PE in healthcare is bad. I don't think we need more evidence to justify acting.

@DrRupaMarya In medical school I was reported for professionalism issues by other students more than anyone else I know. For things like mentioning in group chats that our professors shouldn't be saying crack babies, for declining to organize with certain students, etc.

@awgaffney @Hayrook My own perspective over the last few years has been that covid really radicalized a lot of people in the healthcare system and put them in a position where they were willing to participate in unionization. I'm curious what you might attribute it to?

@MaxJordan_N happens with teaching now too! I see a topic or exercise that I just can't get myself excited about, until it clicks, ahhh I hadn't found the lens on this topic that is in line with my values

@MaxJordan_N almost lol'd the library at this. Yes absolutely. Totally misses the point and misleads people, keeps us busy thinking there's incremental steps that can solve our country's problems but keep all existing power structures in place.

@sadafjaffer @joeymdfox 100% agree, I started following her because I was interested in her WFP background, and once she started posting all the pro-isreal stuff realized we did not have any real political values in common

@NJComptroller These people should never be allowed to be involved in any type of healthcare business ever again. Not owning. Not management companies. Not supply companies. Not staffing agencies. Absolutely nothing, how do we ensure this?

@ZephyrTeachout basically premium rate reviews or state-based public insurance options seem to be the most favored policies with the most research, support, and existing infrastructure to support:
