Protect Patients When Hospitals Are Sold

I am your constituent. It is often the case that when hospitals are sold services decline. This is especially true when the buyer is a for profit entity or a private equity firm. They seek to get a quick return on investment often by providing lesser services to their community and often at higher costs. I want you to establish a state agency to ensure that when such purchases occur that hospitals at least maintain their current level of service to the community and do not overcharge for those services.
