Providence hospital physicians seek union recognition
Providence physicians are seeking union representation.

While I support their efforts against the hospital, I could see how unionization could just lead to another corrupt organization in bed with the government and the hospitals. It would be like ACEP, except with dues confiscated directly from our paychecks.
I think a great thing with America is people can try things. Let these folks do it. They can report back on the good the bad and the ugly. Other employees can then decide what they want to do. The reality that this flies in the face of CPOM is what makes me super pissed.
I believe he’s referring to hospitals and CMGs blatantly violating state laws banning the corporate practice of medicine.What does this mean?

Most states have laws against this. State legislators often are opposed to it but the attorney generals of the states just look the other way.Is he mad that it is "permitted"?
The basic premise is the divided loyalty and impaired confidence between the interests of a corporation and the needs of a patient. In practice, states with corporate practice of medicine laws permit formation and licensure of business corporations established as professional service corporations (but not a non-profit corporation) to practice medicine but only if controlled by physicians
Yep and paralegals aren't taking lawyers jobs like the way midlevels are encroaching on physiciansMost states have laws against this. State legislators often are opposed to it but the attorney generals of the states just look the other way.
Much is written about it but a quick search shows this.
Everything To Know About the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine
Medical practices of all types are subjected to various regulations from business formation to HIPAA compliance, and everything in between. Depending on the circumstances, these rulings may come at a state or federal level. It is important that practices are informed of these regulations from...fentonlawgroup.com
Also some good info here.
For anyone who is so indoctrinated into the current system please do consider that lawyers and accountants havent been bastardized the same way medicine and EM has. Law firms are owned by lawyers, arent publicly traded etc. Those guys dont want to get abused.

Probably all got fired and replaced by HCA gradsAny update on how this is going? Sounds like the union was voted for unanimously by all ED doctors
