Corporate Crimes Against Health Care Act
This bill creates new criminal and civil penalties for corporate entities whose actions contribute to patient harm in healthcare settings. It targets "covered parties" including executives, directors, shareholders, and private equity firms that receive "covered compensation" (such as salaries, bonuses, or equity) from a healthcare organization experiencing a "triggering event" like financial distress leading to patient harm. The bill establishes a clawback mechanism allowing the Attorney General or state attorneys general to recover compensation received by these entities during the 10 years before or after the triggering event, with recovered funds to be used for employee benefits or community health services. It also requires healthcare entities to report ownership information and mandates a study on profit-driven practices in healthcare delivery.
