The Industrial Capitalist Society and Healthcare Industry

Pittsburgh is a good stand in for the problems of industrial capitalist society, and has been treated as such since the late 19th century. A very specialized steel industry monopolistic steel industry gave rise to a very monopolistic healthcare industry with more consolidated Pittsburgh and many other places. So I can even kind of tell a story of from one firm to another firm that's to say from US Steel, which was the biggest steel firm for decades and decades to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) UPMC is now the largest private employer in Pennsylvania.
