"What they've done is extremely evil": Pennsylvania hospital shutdown spurs questions about private equity in health care







This is a prime example of the evils that private equity firms like Mitt Romney's Bain Capital do. The people at these private equity companies should be taken out and shot.

Why am I so mad? I was born in this hospital and it had been serving the community for a generation before that. I hate to see the scumbags win and the community lose.

There are limited health care resources in this country.
It is an inefficient use of them to deploy them to rural America.
For example a rural doctor will only see 2 patients a day while an urban one will see 100.
The free market does a pretty good of efficiently using limited resources.

Crozier Chester is in an urban area - not rural.

Regardless, healthcare needs capitalism serve the consumer better.
Profits reflect the problems you solve. If you ain't making profits you ain't solving problems. If a hospital ain't solving healthcare problems it shouldn't exist.

"2 patients a day"
I'm as rural as one can get and my doctor probably sees more than a 100 a day, if you need an app, wait is days or maybe weeks

why post pure bullshit

Urban patients are not underserved to the extent that rural patients are. The urban-rural divide itself reflects the failure of the “free market.”

Seems Cuba solves health care problems better by rejecting market-driven valuation.

There are limited health care resources. It isn't realistic to say we have enough to serve everyone. Communism won't magically make more healthcare resources. They need to deployed in a way that serves the most amount of people. Which is why healthcare resources have shifted from rural to urban areas over the past 20 years.

Socialism has produced more health care resources, if not yet on a global scale, on a national scale many places (USSR, China, N. Korea, Albania, E. Germany, Czechoslovakia, Cuba). They have also provided all those countries (except maybe N. Korea), plus Poland, Bulgaria, and many capitalist nations (including Grenada and Nicaragua under revolutionary communist leadership) with more trained medical personnel of skill.

Of course, socialism still has limited resources available to it ... in fact, in terms of ability to make use of the world's wealth to get supplies, it has always in fact been far more limited than the U.S. and other leading imperialist nations in this period of socialism's infancy, and that has sometimes been reflected in real material disadvantages.

What is remarkable is that socialism makes so much more humane and efficient use of the limited resources it does have available that it unlocks possibilities not at the same time available to the capitalist world, from the USSR's eradication of typhus to the Chinese elimination of foot binding to Czechoslovakia's being the first to wipe out polio to Cuba's Operation Miracle to the superior performance of Cuba, N. Korea, and Vietnam (as well as China due largely to the legacy and remnant element of socialism there) with respect to Covid-19 and the superior response of virtually every socialist nation (except perhaps the USSR, Romania, and E. Germany) to the HIV pandemic. Meanwhile no socialist country has used biological weapons in warfare.
