New from the Diagnosing Health Care Podcast: The recent 2024 elections resulted in a new Trump administration and a Republican-controlled House and Senate.
From policymakers to stakeholders across the industry, everyone is wondering what health policy will look like in 2025 and beyond.
On this episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Ted Kennedy Jr., Leslie Norwalk, Philo Hall, and Alexis Boaz discuss the results of the 2024 elections and their impact on the health policy space. What will a second Trump administration look like? How might the election results affect the health care policies addressed during Congress’s 2024 lame-duck session?
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.
In this episode of the Diagnosing Health Care Podcast: With the recent midterm elections changing the composition of Congress, and the Biden administration’s first opportunities to advance its policy priorities from the very beginning of the rulemaking process, what are the key health care developments to watch out for in 2023?
Epstein Becker Green attorneys Ted Kennedy, Jr.; Alexis Boaz; and Philo Hall discuss the current landscape of health care policy from both the legislative and regulatory perspectives and analyze which key health care issues may arise.
