Does it really matter to welsh Carson at this point?

Welsh Carson made their killing between 2015-2020. It’s no longer a highly profitable business

Notice the ftc didn’t say Welsh Carson to give Back their always taking 20% profit of every usap center. I see ko mention of that.

So they will Confinue to take 20% of profits in Dallas Houston orlando and other places.

The ftc ruling means nothing in 2025.

True. But at least they're doing *something.* Hopefully if they get enough orders in place it will put PE off of anesthesia altogether

From what I recall, it’s a slap on the wrist. No monetary penalties. All it really says (which is better than nothing) is that WC (via USAP) cannot buy any more groups in Texas without FTC approval. What I would like to know is does this order prevent USAP from getting any new exclusive contracts? Since that is what the lawsuit was initially about.
