How private equity is transforming health care in America

As physicians’ practices continue to be acquired by private equity firms, as well as by private and nonprofit health systems, the practice of medicine is changing: These ownership shifts often reduce physicians’ autonomy, restrict patient access and increase health care costs, raising concerns not just about quality, but also about the financial impact on individuals, employers and taxpayers. This webinar will look at the trends and the tradeoffs.

This webinar is sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund.
