For-profit entities should not be involved in the delivery of healthcare.
Healthcare is simply too important to be left to profit-maximizing corporations that, far too often, put revenue generation above the prerogative of patient care.
Healthcare is simply too important to be left to profit-maximizing corporations that, far too often, put revenue generation above the prerogative of patient care.
Yet corporations increasingly own and operate our healthcare facilities — our hospitals, hospices, dialysis facilities, nursing homes, home health agencies, surgical facilities etc. are more and more owned and operated by investor-owned firms ...
... So how can we push for-profits out, given that so many patients now depend on these for-profit facilities ?
We can do it — but we need to buy out these facilities as part of a transition to Medicare for All, and convert them to not-for-profit entities. It would cost money up front, but would save in the long run — and more importantly would protect patients.
