I don’t have a problem with privately owned clinics, but I do think it should have to be majority owned by the operators. What percentage of that 45% is just doctors that run their own office vs. investment firms.

I agree there is still a long way to go. I hope this case shows that there is political will and ability to push back against private equity rot. Many of the commenters here treat these forces as inevitable and unstoppable - but it is possible to take ground back against them. It's unfortunate it took the death of a child for this to happen.

You have to start somewhere.
