Try and shut down a hospital.
The feds have no controls over hospitals except for VA and
military. It is all state.
And the best they can do is to pull Medicaid funding from a
hospital. (Feds can pull Medicare funds, but only if they really screw up.)
Down here most hospitals are not community owned but private
enterprises so they are owned by a corp!
Now an accrediting agency can pull accreditation on a hospital, but
again, that is usually a very bold move for really screwing up.
But the answer is no federal agency can close a public/private
hospital down. (Except for the notation I made above)

And the _government_ is going to do a better job of closing down bad
doctors and hospitals? They could do that now, without changing
healht insurance at all.
