Private equity investment in the U.S. healthcare sector has grown significantly over the past decade, peaking in 2021 with $100 billion in deals, though it slowed in 2022–2023 due to economic factors. While private equity can improve efficiency and provide capital and management support, concerns persist around reduced care quality, lack of transparency, and increased healthcare costs. Several states, including Pennsylvania, are now exploring regulatory measures to increase oversight and transparency in private equity healthcare transactions.
