agreed but that is not what they are talking about banning -- "PE" is expansive and includes all those other things. If they narrowed this proposal to just what people are thinking of as "PE" here rolling up clinics and gaining local pricing power that would be different and I'd agree with you

I think you misunderstand me. I think what is proposed to be banned (employers of doctors who are PE firms) should not exist. It is strictly not necessary, and there's an excellent example of the consequences playing out across Massachusetts right now (which explains the bill's introduction by Warren)..

I'm not sure how we decided only lawyers can run law firms but that anybody can operate a hospital...
