由于削减成本,私营产权医院的医疗保险紧急死亡率较高,对改革没有任何问责和政治抵制。 Private equity-owned hospitals see higher Medicare emergency death rates due to cost-cutting, with no accountability and political resistance to reform.

一项新的研究将医院的私人股权所有权与紧急部门医疗队病人死亡人数的增加联系起来,将这种上升归因于削减人员等削减成本的措施。 A new study links private equity ownership of hospitals to increased deaths among Medicare patients in emergency departments, attributing the rise to cost-cutting measures like staffing reductions. 研究人员警告说,利润驱动的管理可能会损害护理,特别是在危急情况下,并指出,私营股权公司往往在医院倒闭时避免承担赔偿责任。 Researchers warn that profit-driven management may compromise care, especially in critical situations, and note that private equity firms often avoid liability when hospitals fail. 尽管要求立法追究这些公司的责任,但由于包括财政部长斯科特·贝森特在内的立法者和官员之间广泛的金融联系,政治抵制持续存在。 Despite calls for legislation to hold these firms accountable, political resistance persists due to widespread financial ties among lawmakers and officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. 与其他部门不同的是,急诊病人不易选择服务提供者,使他们容易受到营利性医院所有权的风险。 Unlike in other sectors, emergency care patients cannot easily choose providers, leaving them vulnerable to the risks of for-profit hospital ownership.
