Re the closures of Steward hospitals: I’m a big believer in the free enterprise system, but there’s something profoundly wrong when private equity firms are allowed to play double-dealing shell games with previously non-profit hospitals founded with the charitable dollars and cents of rich and poor people alike. … Maybe a law like this from Elizabeth Warren is needed. … Again, I’m pro-free enterprise. But I’m not utopian about it. There are abuses out there. And if pillaging an entire hospital system isn’t an economic abuse, then there’s no such thing as economic abuse.
