When you get down to it, all hospitals are privately owned unless it's a VA hospital.
Yes, these are doctor-owned -- which apparently have been a target of larger, corporate owned hospitals. Not surprising since corporations often try to influence the powers of government to legislate their competition out of business.
The point of this article is simply that another provision has been uncovered which further restricts the free enterprise aspect of the healthcare market. At a time when doctors are fleeing the industry, when overcrowding is becoming more of a problem, I'd love to hear how this portion of the bill helps anything.
