America Is Cutting Off the Five Eyes. The Results Could Be Catastrophic.

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity.
There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar.
