Thank you @prsjournal for the opportunity to share this primer regarding private equity (PE) investments in plastic surgery and healthcare more broadly! 📈💰🏥

[Victor Agbafe @VictorAgbafe]

We present a roadmap for how surgeons can advocate for policies that support physician autonomy, pursue collaborative ownership models with PE sponsors, and support safeguards that protect care quality.

Who gets to own hospitals and bill Medicare?

In Physician Hospitals of America v. Sebelius, a physician-owned hospital challenged Section 6001 of the ACA as unconstitutional 🏥👨🏽‍⚕️

Who gets to own hospitals and bill Medicare?
In Physician Hospitals of America v. Sebelius, physician-owned hospitals challenged Section 6001 of the ACA as unconstitutional. But the Fifth Circuit never reached the constitutional merits.

[Victor Agbafe @VictorAgbafe]

Opponents say that physician-owned hospitals cherry-pick profitable, healthier patients and leave community hospitals with sicker patients and costlier cases.
Policy design does not just shape hospital finances; it shapes who gets care, where, and at what cost! ⚕️

The #Cowboys and #49ers wage battle in the Candlestick swamp, renewing their storied postseason rivalry — the first of three consecutive NFC title game wars between the teams.

The #DallasCowboys win their then-unprecedented sixth NFC title, 30-20.

and healthcare deserts in vulnerable communities 🏚️. But it's also about administrative power, how much flexibility should agencies have in setting payment formulas? Breaking down the legal battle and what it means for healthcare access

Thank you, @ahdemocracy for the opportunity to highlight the implications of Baptist Healthcare v. Kennedy regarding the size of hospital Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. 🏥💰 🏥💰

[A Healthier Democracy @ahdemocracy]

🏥💰 Baptist Healthcare v. Kennedy could reshape safety-net hospital funding across America! 40 hospitals are suing HHS over new rules that restrict which patients count as "low-income" for federal DSH payments. At stake: uncompensated care funding, hospital closures,

[Victor Agbafe @VictorAgbafe]

More broadly, this case raises broader questions about the extent of discretion federal agencies should have in defining and applying key payment rules.
