What it does
The Take Back Our Hospitals Act of 2026 would amend the Social Security Act to prohibit Medicare payments to hospitals or skilled nursing facilities owned or controlled by private equity funds, corporations owned or controlled by private equity funds, or real estate investment trusts. Facilities already owned by such entities at the time of enactment would be granted a three-year grace period before the prohibition applies. The bill also establishes notice and hearing requirements for violations, imposes joint and several liability on the owning firms for penalties, and defines key terms including "control" as owning 10% or more of voting securities.
