Who would have guessed that turning social human constructions into businesses that 'have to make profits' could result in such deaths!?
What on earth could be next?
Defining margins again and again until these businesses suddenly actually are totally compliant and suddenly there are even more deaths?
Oh how will we ever solve this strange behaviour!?

You don't understand! It's because it's not a truly free market. If it was truly free of regulation and government oversight it would be incredible.

One thing I don't see is the other side of this story: the sellers.
I don't get why sellers are selling to PE. Can these services not "IPO"? Why do these companies need to sell?
When PE takes over medical practices, my understanding is there just isn't enough capital available for a dentist to "cash out". The options are either they find another dentist to buy it, the close the practice, or they sell the private equity...
