Murphy: We’ve Allowed Private Equity to Financialize Our Health Care System

Senator Chris Murphy on Thursday spoke at a U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on the growing medical debt crisis. In his questions to Dr. Luke Messac, Attending Physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Instructor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Director and Health Officer at Wayne County Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services, Murphy emphasized the importance of fighting for consumer protections as the financialization of healthcare drives up costs for American consumers.
