Behind Duncan Robinson’s unlikely ascent was a hidden second life — a decade spent as his brother's quiet lifeline.

Big news—Congress has introduced a ban on corporate-owned medical practices, modeled after Oregon’s new law & our lawsuit protecting independent physicians. Thread explaining the bill and how it’s part of the drafters’ broader efforts to rein in corporate medicine. 1/x

The first provision of the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would apply this CPOM ban to all states. In short, traditional for-profit corporations—like private equity investors and insurance companies—may not own medical practices.

Big vote today in the WakeMed-Atrium hospital merger. The County will decide whether to approve the transfer for what appears to be little, if anything, in exchange. Our updated public comment, based on new terms released Friday & a separate deal announced by Gov Stein Sunday.
