Quality of care declines after private equity takes over hospitals

I work in production and often don’t know what we’re shooting until the cameras start rolling. I filled in for a friend on a job last year in some nondescript corporate office in Manhattan. Then all these White Guys In Suits come to sit in front of the camera and get asked a string of insider, “how’s our business doing” questions. One guy talked about how they basically enacted micro transactions in a fuckin hospice center they took over and how they’re seeing great returns while everything else is turning down. It was fucking disgusting.
