Too late!

These two are of America's best.

They should be banned from existing.

Yeah Let's see what never happens

Hospitals must be included in that, too!

Yes, please!!!

MAKE IT SO!

How about if we just go back to insurance being nonprofit?

Add nursing homes and veterinary practices and hospitals!!!

I would have just stopped it at "banning private equity companies" full stop.

Do the same for farms.

Dentists too!!! Please ... we have teeth in our bodies!

If two men had done this, would your caption be: "Go for it, guys." ??

I'd be in favor of a bill preventing private equity firms from owning money

Absolutely. The are practicing medicine without a license when they over-ride doctor's orders and deny benefits.

If only private equity could be banned from buying great brands and ruining them.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

And most everything else

They should also be banned from owning law firms.

LONG overdue and a huge uphill battle to get it passed. But it MUST be passed into law.

What about hospitals? One of our local hospitals was recently sold to a PE firm. I don't go there any longer.

Yes, UHC took over my former medical group in NY - Optum.

Will this stop Amazon? Certainly they will find a loophole to run the medical clinic business they own.

Add mental health practices, substance abuse treatment centers, etc. This stuff needs to stay local, centered in communities.

I'd vote for that!

4 years of president Warren followed by 8 years of president AOC?

From my own experience, the "Corporate Management" approach to healthcare is a complete disaster. When the result that matters is only measured in dollars, healthcare has failed. Non-profits imitating private equity also. $43 million CEO pay. act.nnu.org/letter/ascen...

So individuals who spend half their life in school and take on enormous debt shouldn’t be allowed to take on partners to expand their business? You cannot be that financially illiterate. It’s almost like graduated from Cornell level of stupid.

Maybe stop just before the “from”?

Medical decisions should be made by doctors, not private equity firms or insurers. The bill aims to close the “friendly doctor” loophole and limit corporate control of medical practices.

Maybe after November, when we get an infusion of people who can think.

Include veterinary clinics too please!!!

Do veterinarian offices next

All private equity does is create another layer of middlemen who take money out of which should be services to people.

👍

💯💯💯💯💯

This is not the problem. The real issues are: Third Party payers. For profits and not for profits. Health System local monopolies. Neither should be allowed own doctors practices In the case of Third Party payers - Medicare for All should eliminate them. And break-up local monopolies.

that would help us

It would be a better bill if the last two words were deleted.

Veterinary Clinics next, please.

Midterms vote BLUE, support these ladies, let’s get this done! 💙💙💙🙏🏼

And housing.

......... and Public Utilities, we were taught in school, would never be put in private hands, and yet here we are........ so yeah, legislate and someone else will find the loophole when they see where the profit to be made can be unlocked.

They are destroying local veterinarian offices, too!

please... that would be a step in the right direction

Please include dentists and veterinarians, private equity is destroying both as well.

I am still waiting for the banning of for profit medical insurance.

Add veterinary clinics to that list please. And day care centers. And single family home rentals. And prisons…

Before Nixon and Congress changed our health and bank accounts forever in the 1970s, the vast majority of health insurance companies were non-profit.

Doctors should be making medical decisions, not private equity firms or insurers. The bill tries to close the 'friendly physician' loophole that lets companies control practices through a figurehead doctor. Whether it passes is another question, but it's a fair fight to pick.

How about a ban on AI images, like the one in this meme, being used without a disclaimer.

And dentists, and vets, private equity are going after all of them

Do apartment buildings next

Remove the last 4 words of that statement.

I hope it includes dentists offices and veterinary services

💯👏🏻

The women rule!

Excellent! The Matriarchy rules.

That should be a given!

Add veterinary to that.

Also hospitals, if you please.

If, in a follow-on bill, they could extend the ban to veterinary practices, that would be great. 

👍🙌

How about next they work on who owns most of our rental properties, foreclosed homes, and a lot of of the housing market – foreigners?

Good! They should add veterinary clinics to the bill as well.

Absolutely perfect

The ultimate prompt. Low context, high stakes, total ambiguity. It’s basically the "Hello World" of chaos theory.

Add law practices, veterinary practice, dental practices and nursing homes. In short, any service in which the outcome to the living being receiving the service should not be at the mercy of someone not in possession of the professional license or training to serve the customer.

At least it's a start.

We just think Universal Healthcare is the way to go! Stop beating around the bush. Democrats need to embrace it.

Sounds good to me. This would make medical services faster and attentive away from the bottom line.

Private Equity has done more than enough harm to our absurd 'health care system' by buying up hospitals.

“But what about the interests of shareholders??!?”

Let's make sure veterinarians are counted in that number.

They are pissing in the ocean of corporate America’s corruption of democracy and they all know it.

Continue and expand that idea. Private equity firms should not own hospitals, clinics, farms, etc. They can buy and sell other equity firms.

Sigh.... just nationalize healthcare already and take it away from the price-gouging, inhumane reapers that now control it.

Should also ban the ownership of hospitals and nursing homes.

Add pharmacies to that list my insurance company decides which meds are cheaper and that’s what I get.

Greatly needed!!

That's a good start. You NEED to include anything people need to survive: HOMES UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE HOSPITALS AMBULANCES TRANSPORTATION And all things too dangerous to dictate acc to profit margins POLICE SECURITY MILITIAS SURVEILLANCE

While we are at it. Let’s ban pharma companies from advertising on tv. You know, like it used to be. They have no moral ethics or sense of how offending the cause effects are. ☠️

Yes, let’s do it!! Great idea!

Top of the list to keep billionaires and corporations from running our government is a total ban on mega donors from them. Since the working/middle class are the majority, campaign donations should be limited to $5-10 grassroots donation.

How bout getting rid of it

It’s about time. Stop the racket Medicare for all.

I have been told by a Doctor friend that a bigger problem is hospitals buying Doctor's practices. Insurance companies have a concept of "hospital billing" which allows hospitals to charge more than Doctors can for the same service.

Include veterinary practices, too.

It's remarkable listening to even Wall Street's biggest proponents warning of cancer that private equity is becoming. It poses dangers not to just investors but market health in general.

And Veterinary practices!

YES!! When insurance companies & PE companies own practices, the also own the clinicians' patient records. This is a threat to every American's privacy, well-being, and safety.

Make it include dental offices too!

How about private equity ownership multiple apartments complexes in a community, my dentist and my dog’s vet as well?

i don't want them to own homes either

How about universal healthcare and eliminate the insurance companies altogether!!

It got too out of hand over in the UK too quickly so commissioners had to work out other means to make it less attractive…

I think we need to accept that we can’t just shout “listen to your doctors” when capitalism sits between them and their decisions on our bodies. Doctors who’s livelihoods depend on venture capital bottom line make us all less safe

Yeah, they don’t want private business honing in on their territory of government control of medical practices. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Or private single family homes would be nice to include.

Private equity ruins everything it touches. Cities pay much more for firetrucks because of.... private equity. Healthcare always goes up and quality goes down with private equity. It's a cancer on the economy.

Insurance has no place in decision making in medicine at all! Just pay the bill and shut up!

How about veterinarian practices too? They've been buying those up like crazy lately.

Dem women will save our world!! 💪💙

How about nursing homes, memory care facilities?

Let’s prevent them from buying trailer parks too. They are ratcheting up prices for seniors on fixed income

Wonder if the bill will ban usa equity firms owning foreign GPs also? They’re a plague on the UK system right now.

good luck with that.... Without universal health care, that can never happen.

Include Veterinary clinics too!!!!!!!!!!

they already control vision and dental and they are funding pension

And veterinarian practices, they're ruining pet ownership and care by making it extremely expensive and often requiring insurance, if have it, or setting up incredibility high payment plans if you don't, or just letting your pet die if can't afford at all! Vet care was reasonable 20 yrs ago!

Why just doctors? This should cover dental, ophthalmology, and veterinary practices as well.

Great idea. Nothing like being reduced to a commodity in the healthcare industry

Is that a picture of the future President and Vice President?

Huge fan of this…. Was an adjuster for 2 carriers for +20 years. About time.

Add veterinarian clinics too! They are out of control!

And that's what's happening in the UK too.

This would be a disaster for healthcare access. You will just see doctors leaving private practice for huge healthcare systems. Huge for-profit hospital systems will be the only ones who benefit. Not a single patient will see anything good out of this.

Ban them from owning hospitals, nursing homes and rehab facilities too! Healthcare should not be a profit engine for investors.

Yes!

Let's hear it for common sense
