参议员Jeff Merkley和其他立法者提出了《病人利润法案》,以阻止保险公司拥有医疗诊所,因为人们担心费用上涨和俄勒冈州Obtum公司(联合保健子公司)获得俄勒冈州医疗集团后获取服务的机会减少。 Senator Jeff Merkley and other lawmakers have introduced the Patients Over Profits Act to stop insurance companies from owning medical clinics, following concerns over rising costs and reduced access after Optum Oregon, a UnitedHealth subsidiary, acquired Oregon Medical Group. 该法案将禁止保险人拥有诊所,并禁止与控制医疗服务提供者的保险人签订联邦合同,目的是将病人护理置于利润之上,并确保医生的独立性。 The bill would ban insurers from owning clinics and prohibit federal contracts with insurers that control medical providers, aiming to prioritize patient care over profits and ensure doctors’ independence. 它适用于医疗保健和医疗补助优惠方案,并要求剥离现有的所有权关系。 It applies to Medicare and Medicaid Advantage programs and requires existing ownership ties to be divested.
