[lbo-talk] New Frontiers of Corporate Synergy

[michael perelman]

The buyout shops are purchasing hospitals, no doubt in a charitable 
effort to make health care more available.  Cerberus Capital Management 
went one step further striking a deal to acquire Caritas Christi Health 
Care, a large Massachusetts hospital chain.  To ensure that the hospital 
chain will have an opportunity to treat more people, Cerberus also owns 
Freedom Group Inc., one of the world’s largest makers of firearms and 
ammunition.

Way to go, capitalism!
