Private equity is not just taking over companies—it’s increasingly gaining control of health care facilities as well. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Megan Greenwell explain private equity and how it can lead to lower-quality care for patients and financial instability for hospitals.
In the Q&A, Bristow addresses questions on plague, Coca-Cola's new cane-sugar-sweetened Coke, and - hold onto your hats - the debut of New World Screwworm is "Sick of the Week."
For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the Show Notes.
