Bottom line
Strong tailwind. Demand is demographic and policy-backed; supply is 6× short of OECD norms; government is funding the build; competition is unconsolidated. This is the segment to own — both as a market (greenfield for operators and capital) and as intelligence (no competitor covers it credibly). Watch the bed-gap closure rate and CHI's post-acute/LTC coverage decisions.
