When @RepMGriffith asked insurance executives earlier this year if they opposed lifting the ban on physician-led hospitals, not a single hand went up. This week, he asked physicians and hospital leaders the same question. Only ONE hand was raised — the CEO of the American Hospital Association. ‼️Let that sink in. Communities in healthcare deserts are being denied care — not because physicians can’t help, but because special interest doesn’t want them to lead. The same physicians trusted to treat patients every day are blocked from owning and operating hospitals — while large systems consolidate power, drive up costs and limit options. Since the ban took effect in 2010: • Hospital consolidation has increased. • Prices have risen. • Patient outcomes have declined. ✅ This policy hasn’t worked. It’s protected special interests — not patients. ✅ Physicians should be empowered, not controlled. When physicians lead, patients succeed. ✅ It’s time for Congress to change course ✅ Time is up on the arbitrary ban on physician-led hospitals. 📺Watch the exchange: youtube.com/live/SgsYVQf6Q…
