No, private equity is not the reason healthcare costs in the US are out of control, you can even ask chatgpt.
PE is a 3rd tier mild symptom in certain niche health markets that sits downstream of all the structural root issues created due to the twisted public/private incentive misalignment nightmare of US healthcare.
- Eisenstein 8mo agoPeople would have an opportunity to change their stance if you explain why they should hold a different one with evidence and persuasion. Berating them and then saying they are wrong without explaining why is not going to change anyone's mind.
- pembrook 8mo agoI used to do that when HN was a more rational, thinking-man's place years ago. It's been poisoned by the hysterical climate of US politics like everything else on the internet, so there are no thinking men left. It's a lost cause. If I were to explain the situation rationally I would get downvoted for not cheering on the shooting of CEOs. Upvote communities are all dead and dying. There are no more interesting conversations happening in them anymore.
