NEW REPORT ABOUT PRIVATE EQUITY IN HOME HEALTH RAISES RED FLAG, AUTHORS SAY
(MCKNIGHT’S HOME CARE)

A new report reveals that the top five private equity firms collected over $850
million in Medicare revenue and operated almost 280 locations in 2020. These
findings should sound an alarm bell for antitrust regulators, according to the
report’s authors, Diana L. Moss, president of the American Antitrust Institute,
and Oscar Valdes Viera, research manager for Americans for Financial Reform.
They spoke to McKnight’s Home Care in a Newsmakers podcast.

LETTERS TO CONGRESS
AFR LETTER URGING OPPOSITION TO H.R. 3937, A BILL EXPANDING TAX BREAKS FOR RICH
INVESTORS

LETTERS TO CONGRESS
LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE CFPB

AFR led a letter signed by 84 national, state, and local groups ranging from
civil rights, consumer protection, labor unions, antitrust, and general public
interest groups voicing our collective support for the work and mission of the
CFPB. In the letter we highlight the importance of an agency dedicated solely to
consumer protection and the work the CFPB has done to make customers whole after
harm was done. We again push back on the agenda to limit the agency’s
effectiveness by subjecting the agency to annual appropriations, changing its
leadership structure to a commission, and the most recent proposal to raise the
asset threshold for companies under the CFPB’s supervision to $50 billion from
the current $10 bn threshold.

released by Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund.

REPORT
WELLS FARGO: WE GO FAR BEYOND THE LAW

Wells Fargo, the San Francisco-based megabank, has been embroiled in a series of
scandals, lawsuits, and customer abuses over the past decade. Despite public
outrage and legal actions, the bank’s executives have failed to address the
issues adequately. They have been accused of lying to Congress, neglecting
shareholder complaints, and evading accountability for their wrongdoings while
claiming to make improvements.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM ON CLIMATE RISK AMPLIFIES FINANCIAL INSTABILITY (GREEN
CENTRAL BANKING)

“… it’s called climate change because the climate is changing, and much faster
than scientists originally anticipated. We cannot merely use past data to
predict future climate impacts,” wrote Alex Martin, senior policy analyst at
AFR. “We must take a precautionary approach and heed the stern warnings from
scientists about our dire current global trajectory. The US will not be spared
the effects.”
