多边“发展”组织、国家政府以及私人资本所有者和机构的联盟促进了金融化。在医疗保健部门，人们普遍认为，利用私人资金来源是实现可持续发展目标3全民健康覆盖目标的必要条件。运用社会科学的观点，本文认为这是资本形成的一个新阶段。本文追溯了促进私人资本在这一领域渗透的先例、制度、工具和理念，以及区分这一领域的新资产类别的出现。作者认为，金融化的深化代表了医疗保健系统组织原则的根本转变，对健康和平等产生了负面影响。
Financialization is promoted by alliances of multilateral 'development' organizations, national governments and owners and institutions of private capital. In the healthcare sector, the leveraging of private sources of finance is widely argued as necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3 target of universal health coverage. Employing social science perspectives on financialization, the authors of this article contend that this is a new phase of capital formation. The article traces the antecedents, institutions, instruments and ideas that facilitated the penetration of private capital in this sector, and the emergence of new asset classes that distinguish it. The authors argue that this deepening of financialization represents a fundamental shift in the organizing principles for healthcare systems, with negative implications for health and equality.
