Code WACK!

Is private equity in health care killing us?

This time on Code WACK!

What happens to staff and patients when private investors buy hospitals to make them more profitable? And why should this concern us all?

To break it down, we spoke to Dr. Renee Hsia, an attending physician at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center and a Professor of Emergency Medicine and Health Policy at the University of California, San Francisco. She's also Vice Chair of Health Services Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and a core faculty member of the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies. This is the first episode in a two-part series.
