The Role of Private Equity In Health Care

Late last month, the White House called out private equity firms
in a fact sheet on the safety and quality of nursing homes.


"Private equity firms have been buying up struggling nursing
homes, and research shows that private equity-owned nursing homes
tend to have significantly worse outcomes for residents," the
fact sheet reads, adding that "Private equity firms’ investment
in nursing homes has ballooned from $5 billion in 2000 to more
than $100 billion in 2018, with about 5% of all nursing homes now
owned by private equity firms."


Listen to Health Affairs' Kathleen Haddad and Rob Lott discuss
the role of private equity in health care service lines.
