Foreign Investment and Healthcare

摘要

The electric power industry and many state and local communities have a long history of welcoming and promoting globalization, particularly in encouraging the development of the industries' substantial US manufacturing base. The unintended result of the US becoming a less competitive home for incremental global investment in manufacturing should be front and center in the national dialogue on private versus public sector management of healthcare. It is a paradox that the growth rate of invested capital in the US manufacturing sector has been much higher by international firms than by equity sponsored by Wall Street financed firms over the past 20 years.
