Summary:

Oregon lawmakers are concerned a private equity firm is violating 2025 legislation intended to keep profit-driven investors from undermining medical care. The spirit of the new law is to get private equity out of hospitals and decisions over care, says L&C Professor Keith Cunningham-Parmeter. “Private equity is taking over all sorts of specialty medical services across the nation. Oregon’s recent law was trying to do something about that.” But, he notes, “private equity has been very clever in finding loopholes to these restrictions on the corporate practice of medicine.’”
