Did you read TFA? There are some great examples there for the health care sector, and not just one off sensational examples.

TFA provides examples where private equity has been destructive in the healthcare sector:

> A 2024 Review of Financial Studies paper <https://www.nber.org/papers/w28474> found that private equity acquisition of nursing homes was associated with an ~10% increase in deaths, implying approximately 22,500 additional deaths over the twelve-year sample period.

I was asking for examples where private equity has made things better.

Sorry, I must have misread what you said.
That you did is valuable criticism of my writing. When you get deep enough into "no, you're wrong", "no, you're wrong", it becomes virtually impossible to keep track of who's saying what, unless people actually state their claims explicitly… which I didn't.
To be honest, I should have gotten it from context clues! I had read the whole thread.
