In a case that just proves that investors will throw good money after bad, Oscar Health has raised an additional $165 million in financing to fund its ongoing losses in the health plan market.
A PE firm has made an undisclosed, but likely very large, investment in Landmark Health, which cares for chronically ill patients in a risk-based model that focuses on at-home care.
