Big Finance Abandons Healthcare: Carnegie's Significant Pullback from Medtronic

In a revealing move reflecting broader systemic issues within our healthcare and financial sectors, Carnegie Investment Counsel has markedly reduced its investment in Medtronic plc, a key player in medical technologies, by 25.5% during the last quarter. This divestment raises concerns about the sustainability of essential healthcare innovations amidst a landscape dominated by profit-driven decisions. The decision, disclosed through a recent SEC filing, underscores the urgent need for reform in how healthcare advancements are financed and supported, highlighting the peril of relying excessively on volatile private investment to fund critical medical technology sectors.
