Healthcare Transactions attorney John Saran was quoted in a Bloomberg Law about the bipartisan efforts in state legislatures to tackle escalating costs and consolidation in the healthcare industry, with a keen focus on private equity firm involvement. States such as Texas and Indiana have initiated measures to boost transparency and regulate takeovers that might affect public interest, driven by concerns over bankruptcies and facility closures linked to private equity investments that critics claim result in poorer health outcomes. Mr. Saran highlighted the potential domino effect if one of these measures is enacted.
