In this episode, I’m joined by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey to address a crisis that’s been weighing heavily on my mind—how private equity is wreaking havoc on our healthcare system. We’ll explore the fallout from the collapse of Steward Healthcare, a private equity-backed hospital chain that’s left thousands of Massachusetts residents without essential care. Senator Markey and I discuss the heartbreaking stories of staff and patients caught in the crossfire, the urgent need for legislative action, and how Steward CEO Ralph de la Torre is evading Congress amid growing scrutiny. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
