Introduced in 2026, The Patient Safety and Whistleblower Protections Act would effectively ban private equity (PE) ownership of hospitals and nursing homes. Read The Advisor’s article on the bill to learn more.  

TSCL ran a web poll in June 2026 to gauge support for the idea, and 354 of our supporters responded. This poll did not include demographic information. 

What are your views on banning private equity firms from owning nursing homes and assisted living facilities?
