“I will say healthcare overall probably has more activity than the other industries, and the primary reason for that is that … It's a recession-resistant market. At the end of day, it’s a lot easier to underwrite … people are still going to get injured … people are still going to need surgeries, or you're really focused on services … people are still going to go to the hospitals and the hospitals still need to bill and collect the insurance and patient receivables. And so, I would say healthcare overall probably has more activity than the other sectors, but M&A generally, across the board, is down,” said Gross.
