On this episode of Ropes & Gray's Value-based Care
Collides with Competition podcast series, health care
attorneys Brett Friedman, Ben Wilson and Natalie LaRue discuss the
recent developments and trends related to health care access, cost
and quality on the East Coast. Efforts by these East Coast states
mirror the efforts on the West Coast in states like Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and California, and in some cases, pre-date
them. They talk about the deal impacts of existing laws in
Connecticut and Massachusetts, a newly passed law in New York that
will take effect this summer, and proposed state laws in Maine and
North Carolina*, focusing on what these laws could mean for health
care transactions in these states, especially those involving
private equity and venture-capital-funded entities.
