Bill overview
The Patients Over Profit Act (POP Act) aims to prevent health insurance companies and certain healthcare providers, particularly those involved in Medicare, from being owned by the same entity. This legislation prohibits common ownership between insurance issuers and providers, requiring any such companies to divest within a specified timeframe. It also establishes a process for the Federal Trade Commission to review these divestitures and penalize violations through fines and the recovery of ill-gotten gains. Finally, the bill expands these restrictions to Medicare Advantage and Part D plans, ensuring that these programs also adhere to the common ownership prohibition.
