Federal bill targets corporate practice of medicine

Original: Federal bill proposes banning the corporate practice of medicine nationwide

A federal bill has been proposed that would ban the corporate practice of medicine across the United States. If enacted, the legislation would restrict corporations from owning or employing physicians, a model that has expanded rapidly through private equity investment in healthcare. Law firms and healthcare industry observers are examining the proposal's potential effects on hospital ownership, staffing companies and patient care.

Why now: The bill would reshape healthcare ownership rules, raising concerns among providers, investors and patients nationwide.
