Coalition for Patient-Centered Care

We represent a diverse group of health care industry stakeholders in opposition to private equity’s acquisition and influence over independent physicians.

What an exciting week for CPCC: Glenn Summer, @vickinortonmd, and Amy Adair were in town for @econliberties’ Break Up Big Medicine Conference! Vicki & Amy spoke on a panel on independent medicine consolidation and did an excellent job bringing the doctor perspective to the room.

Tune in for some great discussion on how we can keep private equity out of healthcare and break up big medicine! Featuring some great stuff from @CPCC_America.

Our next panel touches on AI in Healthcare, featuring
@oliviawkosloff and @AINowInstitute's Kate Brennan.

Here's Kate on the risk AI can pose to both healthcare professionals and patients: We know AI tools are actively undermining healthcare professionals' clinical judgment. We know that these tools are making work feel more like a business transaction than an actual care setting... We are seeing privacy and data concerns...

Let’s make these laws even stronger in 2027! Proud to work with @CPCC_America to make healthcare work for all Americans.

"90% of voters agree that health insurance companies have too much control and should be broken up."

Breaking up big medicine is overwhelmingly popular and bipartisan. @freer_emma explains👇

CPCC members @adriennetowsen, James Toussaint, and Marco Fernandez of @AIMforDocs discuss how private equity acquisitions can "convert once-independent doctors into employees with less agency," often leading to worse care and higher costs.

@CPPC_America's @ToussaintMD wrote a manuscript for the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. that highlights how private equity interferes with orthopaedic surgeons’ ability to effectively practice and teach the next generation of surgeons.

@SenWarren @RepGoodlander You can read more about this vital legislation here. https://t.co/qFPh7eDjXf

When private equity takes over a healthcare provider, costs go up, outcomes get worse, and workers suffer. We need leaders to hold these PE companies accountable. That's why we were proud to endorse @SenWarren and @RepGoodlander's Corporate Crimes Against Health Care Act of 2026.

When wholesalers buy out physicians' practices, it raises real questions as to "whether a company can remain fair and agnostic if they are selling their own products to clinicians," says AIM's Jack Dillon.

My latest story for @WSJ: The doctor shortage is leading patients to AI chatbots, home devices and direct-to-consumer lab tests to get the medical answers they need.

Congratulations to the CA State Assembly for passing AB 1415, which would expand oversight authority of the Office of Health Care Affordability into healthcare transactions involving hedge funds and private equity groups. We call on Governor @GavinNewsom to sign it into law.
