Great to talk physician-owned hospitals with @rclong1997 on the @healthpolicypod!

Give it a listen ⬇️

Chefs can own restaurants. Lawyers can own law firms. But for 16 years, federal law has stood in the way of doctors opening or expanding hospitals.

It’s time to lift the ACA’s restrictions on physician-owned hospitals and let them compete on the same footing as traditional hospitals.

New from me for @Paragon_Inst:

Physician-owned hospitals can increase competition and improve affordability.

But the ACA effectively barred new ones from opening and existing ones from expanding.

It’s time to lift these restrictions.

Big news :)

In some personal news, I got engaged to the love of my life last week

[Niskanen Center @NiskanenCenter]

The 'meh' news is that the work doesn't end with new legislation. The next step is for medical boards to implement the new requirements.

@lawsonhmansell, Jonathan Wolfson, and @katherinehall07 have a new report outlining how: https://t.co/MjuTpZk3ZH

[Lawson Mansell @lawsonhmansell]

NEW report! Over a third of states have now created new licensing pathways for international doctors - the most promising solution to our shortage.

But medical boards have to implement them. Jonathan Wolfson, @katherinehall07, and I have some ideas to ensure that goes smoothly.

[Lawson Mansell @lawsonhmansell]

In fact, these are two of the three recommendations for Congress that @katherinehall07 wrote up yesterday:

NEXT WEEK: Excited to talk with Jonathan Wolfson, Rep. @TomOliverson, and @dr_shaps about all things International physician licensing.

In the last 5 years, over a third of states have passed new pathways to practice. Now they must implement them, and we have ideas.

RSVP below.

[Lawson Mansell @lawsonhmansell]

In last few years, over 1/3 of states passed bills to allow int'l trained docs to get licensed in the US for the first time.

But one major hurdle has always loomed large: Board certification.

Thankfully, at least one Board is changing their rules.

My first for @NiskanenCenter:

A new program from leading internal medicine org ABIM marks a major step toward removing certification barriers for internationally trained physicians (ITPs).

This echoes Niskanen's call for greater recognition of ITPs earlier this year.
