AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar Medicare from paying hospitals or skilled nursing facilities that are owned or controlled by a private equity fund, a corporation owned or controlled by a private equity fund, a real estate investment trust, or an affiliate of these firms. Facilities already owned by such firms when the law takes effect would have 3 years before they are considered in violation. A facility found in violation would be entitled to notice and a hearing. The owning firm would share legal responsibility for any penalty the facility receives. Owning 10 percent or more of a facility's voting securities would count as control.
