Private equity firms have acquired over two-thirds of the US opioid treatment market without improving treatment access, a new study finds. "I think it raises concerns about what purpose, and whose interests, these investments are actually serving,” Professor Professor Yashaswini Singh, PhD says.
Private equity ownership of opioid treatment programs has not improved access or decreased deaths, Brown University study finds - The Boston Globe

Birth rates are falling. But a $5K check doesn't address the top barriers to having children:
✅maternity care deserts
✅no paid leave
✅high maternal mortality rate
✅childcare deserts
✅high cost of infertility treatment
