An Open Letter

To: Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Murray

From: A verified voter in Vancouver, WA

June 13

I am your constituent and I just learned and want you to know that when private equity purchases a hospital, patients suffer. The number of falls, and infections dramatically increases. When private equity buys a nursing home the death rate goes up by 10% in one year. I also just learned of a public hospital in New Mexico sold to Lifepoint (a private equity run medical company) and they have been turning away patients whose insurance they do not prefer - according the NBC news. All of this stinks and I want you to do something. There is a new bill in the Senate called Corporate Crimes Against Health Care Act - it would fix these problems by ensuring there was financial and criminal liability for mistreating patients while squeezing every last dime out of a newly purchased facility. I want you to cosponsor it and talk to other senators and get them on board. It is time that we we did something about this egregious situation.
