    Deaths are higher in emergency rooms of hospitals owned by private equity firms, per Harvard University.

    They did the math: It’s cheaper to let you die than to save you with a procedure you can’t afford.

    This is what happens when profits are prioritized over people.

      @FluentInFinance Thank you for sharing this. It‘s very striking and illuminating.

      One suggestion though, could you maybe add a link to the source? I think think that’s pretty important in this age of common misinformation and half-truths on the web.

            @FluentInFinance Grim. Deeply grim.

            And they have the gall to call themselves healthCARE businesses.

            They are pathologically uncaring profit predators like far far too many businesses.

                  I glad it wasn't hard, the goal here is to up the journalist ethics to make presenting sources the standard.
                  For a lot of folks, search is hard but we also need them to be educated before the next election..

                      @mral @FluentInFinance @fi I agree, but one way to support that standard is to do the work for them. I do that also with posters forgetting the alternative text: just reply with it, and they may do the right thing - or not. But those needing it will have the alt-text.

                          The very first thing they did in the emergency room was do a credit check and see what my estate was worth, "OK, we can now talk with you"

                              @FluentInFinance @mral @fi Although just as reprehensible, the linked article points to the cause of higher mortality in the initial summary: "Researchers linked the increase in mortality to cuts in salary and staffing levels."

                                @JackMexa4 @FluentInFinance I remember watching libertarians drool with excitement over the idea.of the world's first trillionaire, but you know what I'd rather have instead?

                                A functioning single payer health care system.
