    Remember that when private equity buys out a business, there is at least one major winner in that moment: the current owners who have been building up that business over years.

    One foreseeable consequence of this bill is that it reduces the ultimate value of starting and building your own practice, leading to more consolidation among existing large operators. As this is foreseeable, I also imagine that it's an unstated goal.

      a business can be sold to a younger generation.
