The Mark Ford Show examined the privatization of essential services and assets, detailing how private equity firms and other financial entities are buying up hospitals, rental homes, veterinary clinics, and other critical infrastructure. The host cited studies showing increased patient deaths and infections at private equity-owned hospitals, rising rents and fees in corporate-owned housing, and escalating costs at chain-owned vet clinics. The episode also explored threats to the U.S. Postal Service's universal service mandate and discussed the broader implications of selling public goods to private interests.
