Businesses and institutions that provide healthcare for profit compose a network called the medical-industrial complex (MIC). Related to the military- and prison-industrial complex—terms used to describe profit-driven militarism and incarceration—MIC refers to the increased privatization of healthcare, and its regressive implications on public policy and medical practice. As Griffith asserts, the MIC prioritizes profit and disproportionately excludes marginalized, disabled, and gender-diverse bodies from adequate care.
