Why I'll Keep Talking About Corporate Medicine

About this video

In this direct-to-camera commentary, delivered here with Arabic captions, Flanary explains why he will keep telling stories about hospitals that replace local physicians and whole departments with private-equity-backed firms. He says he has already received a legal threat over this coverage, which he jokes about framing, and that hundreds of people nationwide have sent him similar stories since he began. He describes the pattern as a loss of humanity for small communities, thanks those who wrote in, and also asks to hear about good community hospitals so their practices can be copied elsewhere.

Key takeaways

• Flanary says legal threats from a hospital company have not stopped his corporate-medicine coverage
• He reports receiving hundreds of messages from clinicians and patients with similar experiences
• His framing is that communities lose decades of local experience to save money
• He actively solicits examples of well-run hospitals, arguing good models can be learned from too
