It’s no secret that private equity has infected our health care system. My plan to reform the role of private equity in our health care system just passed the Pennsylvania House – bringing us one step closer to doing exactly that. I’m done letting private equity treat Pennsylvania hospitals like a piggybank they can empty out and smash on the floor.

Private equity is stripping money and resources from our hospitals, shuttering the health care services communities rely on, and skipping town — leaving taxpayers holding the bag. It's time to reform the way private equity has infected our health care system. There is legislation in the House and Senate that would put real protections in place for our health care systems. Send it to my desk.
