More evidence of harms inflicted by private equity on US healthcare. Usual pattern: profiteering, hiking debt, low investment, poor patient care and safety. Yet UK NHS being handed to private equity without any evidence, 30%-40% public money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

The government is looking at another benefit crackdown when it should, instead, be looking at corporate fraud and its own failure to pay all the benefits owing to people. Why has it got its focus so wrong? Does it just hate people on benefits? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...
