It's terrifying for a field I am going to be entering. I keep getting told the same thing from colleagues, professors, doctors I shadow. They all have the same resounding opinion that the Healthcare system is completely broken. Equally important, they all also say that private equity is a fundemantal cause of many of the failings.

I thought our healthcare system was plenty fucked before private equity came in to make it so much worse.
