From the article:
“Members of Frist’s family in 1968 founded Hospital Corporation of America, the largest private operator of health care facilities in the nation. Frist sold all of his shares in the Nashville, Tenn.-based company in 2005.”
The Frist family is the specific beneficiary of a section of the law that provides them with near monopoly power in private hospital ownership in their existing markets, of course Frist loves this law.
