The Influence Of Private Equity In Health Care ([link removed] )
Nearly $5 trillion dollars flow through the health care system each year, representing more than 17 percent of the American economy. The figures are only expected to grow.
Rising health care spending may bring challenges for consumers, but ongoing growth also invites entrepreneurs, such as private equity firms, to capitalize on health care’s unique financial opportunities.
Exclusive to Health Affairs Insiders, this report examines the key factors surrounding private equity ownership of hospitals and physician practices, including:
- The impact of private equity ownership on practices and patients
- Existing policies, laws, and regulations surrounding private equity ownership
- Opportunities for future policy making
Become an Insider today ([link removed] )  to get exclusive access to our new trend report.
