Federal Bill Introduced to Ban Corporate Practice of Medicine Nationwide

Federal Bill Introduced to Ban Corporate Practice of Medicine Nationwide

Senator Elizabeth Warren, alongside Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, and Representatives Val Hoyle, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Suhas Subramanyam, introduced the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026. This proposed federal legislation aims to prohibit the corporate practice of medicine across the United States. The Act would make it unlawful for any partnership or corporate entity not majority-owned and controlled by licensed medical professionals to own or control a medical practice, employ licensees for professional services, or engage in the practice of medicine. Key provisions include requiring licensee owners to be licensed and actively practicing in the state where services are provided, and imposing restrictions on Management Services Organizations (MSOs) regarding ownership, governance, and control of medical practices. The bill also seeks to ban non-compete, non-disclosure, and non-disparagement agreements for healthcare providers and MSOs, with limited exceptions.

Insurance Regulators Defend State-Led Model Amid Senator Warren's Concerns Over Private Credit

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has defended its state-led regulatory framework for insurers in response to concerns raised by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. Senator Warren questioned potential regulatory gaps regarding Wall Street's influence over insurers and their investments in private credit. In a letter, the NAIC, led by Virginia insurance Commissioner Scott White, detailed recent and upcoming actions to enhance oversight of life insurers' investments and solvency. These measures include a more refined definition for bonds, the NAIC's ability to challenge private ratings, and increased transparency and reporting requirements, particularly for private investments. The NAIC asserted that these modernizations demonstrate the state-based system's adaptability to market evolution, rather than indicating a need for increased federal oversight. Concerns intensified following revelations that insurers controlled by Guggenheim Partners CEO Mark Walter are under federal investigation...
