You, presumably, have examples of these cases. Could you show them to us, please? (Given your understanding of the evidence available to us "ignorant, low-information HN users", you know you're making a bold claim, which creates a corresponding burden of proof.)

- p_j_w 8mo agoDid you read TFA? There are some great examples there for the health care sector, and not just one off sensational examples.
- wizzwizz4 8mo agoTFA provides examples where private equity has been destructive in the healthcare sector: > A 2024 Review of Financial Studies paper <https://www.nber.org/papers/w28474 https://www.nber.org/papers/w28474> found that private equity acquisition of nursing homes was associated with an ~10% increase in deaths, implying approximately 22,500 additional deaths over the twelve-year sample period. I was asking for examples where private equity has made things better.
- p_j_w 8mo agoSorry, I must have misread what you said.
- wizzwizz4 8mo agoThat you did is valuable criticism of my writing. When you get deep enough into "no, you're wrong", "no, you're wrong", it becomes virtually impossible to keep track of who's saying what, unless people actually state their claims explicitly… which I didn't.
- p_j_w 8mo agoTo be honest, I should have gotten it from context clues! I had read the whole thread.
