Texas hospitals sue U.S. for allowing rival's expansion

Thursday, October 15, 2015

A trio of Texas hospitals sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Monday for granting a rival, physician-owned hospital an exception from federal law allowing it to double in size.

The U.S. Affordable Care Act largely banned new physician-owned hospitals over concerns about conflicts of interest that may arise when doctors refer patients for services at hospitals in which they have a financial interest.
