BuzzFeed News built a unique database to examine how a private equity behemoth managed the care of thousands of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. https://t.co/1tkpMWNfsT

This is EXACTLY why we will fight to keep our state-run campuses and facilities OPEN FOREVER. Privatization and corporatization of care for people with disabilities = zero accountability and death.

When the private equity giant KKR bought BrightSpring, it took control of more than 600 group homes for people with disabilities.

BuzzFeed News found that KKR focused on expanding the business despite mounting crises in the homes.

Huh. It's almost as if SHUTTERING LARGE STATE-RUN INSTITUTIONS DOES NOTHING TO LESSEN THE WAITING LIST. And TX, OH, and IL are under constant pressure to close them all.
