The U.S. Senate is conducting investigations into the healthcare sector, focusing on the impact of private equity firms on emergency room (ER) care. A recent probe has been launched into the growing trend of concierge physician care backed by private equity, alongside a second Senate investigation specifically targeting the role of private equity in ERs. The Senate committee has requested information from three major private-equity firms to examine how their management or staffing of hospital emergency departments might have affected patient care. The investigations are driven by concerns that private equity's cost-saving measures could compromise patient safety and care.
