On June 11, 2024, U.S. Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, introduced proposed legislation titled The Corporate Crimes Against Health Care Act (“CCAHCA”), aimed at addressing a perceived “looting” of health care systems by for profit private equity investors. According to Sen. Warren, the bill was introduced to “root out corporate greed and private equity abuse in the health care system,” “prevent exploitative private equity practices,” and to specifically ensure that actions such as “looting” do not happen again by addressing trigger events and targeting real estate investment trusts.
The CCAHCA proposes to impose significant criminal penalties, compensation clawbacks, and civil penalties against executives of private equity firms and health care entities that are found to have contributed to the death or injury of a patient through a triggering event. Additionally, the bill imposes certain requirements that impact real estate investments funds (REITs) and would require annual reporting requirements for change of control transactions.
