R.I. lawmakers override veto of bill to curb hospital sales

Article Abstract:

Rhode Island passed legislation to prevent for-profit hospitals from acquiring more than one hospital every three years. Additional provisions in the bill increase the state health department's management of the entire healthcare industry. There are some concerns about the constitutionality of the legislation because for-profit hospitals are the focus of the legislation.

Hospital purchases lays groundwork for Atlanta network

Article Abstract:

Tenet HealthcCorp. is looking to consolidate its position as the second- biggest publicly-traded hospital company following its acquisition of OrNda HealthCorp. Tenet plans to do so not by expanding into new markets, but rather by further expanding its holdings in markets in which it already owns hospitals and other health care entities.
