  • Private equity firms are spearheading an avalanche of mergers and consolidations as hospitals and healthcare systems align to cut costs, increase market share and maximize revenue streams at the expense of healthcare workers and patients.

The article from the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) discusses the ongoing conflict in Gaza, focusing on the dire humanitarian situation and the international response. It reports that the Israeli military has intensified its bombardment of Gaza, leading to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis with over 15,000 deaths, including more than 6,000 children, and widespread destruction. The article criticizes the United States for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire, highlighting the complicity of the Biden administration in the ongoing violence. It also mentions the global protests against the war, the increasing calls for a ceasefire from various international bodies, and the internal dissent within the US government and military over the policy towards Israel. The piece argues that the conflict is part of a broader imperialist strategy, with the US and its allies supporting Israel's actions despite the evident war crimes and human rights violations.
