There is no regulation.
Hospitals are allowed to operate based on state guidelines and review boards.
There is no federal guidelines on Hospitals.
Just like doctors you have 50 different sets of guidelines out there.

have medical licenses taken away. That could reduce insurance costs
for everybody.
This says to me that real-world regulation doesn't work.
