Ever wonder what happens when people with zero medical training start buying up hospitals and clinics? This week, we're joined by journalist Megan Greenwell, who’s spent years investigating the chilling spread of private equity in healthcare. We talk about what it means when medicine becomes a business, the moments that made her jaw drop during reporting, and why she thinks doctors and patients are both trapped in a system that no longer works for either of them. This one hits hard.

Takeaways:

How private equity is quietly reshaping American healthcare.
What it’s like to investigate medicine from the outside.
The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways profit motives impact care.
Why many doctors are afraid to speak out—and who’s filling that silence.
What Megan Greenwell uncovered that even shocked physicians.
