  • Title: Should not-for-profit organizations be exempt from antitrust laws?
    Author: Bryant LE.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1988 Jun; 42(6):70-2, 76-80, 84-5. PubMed ID: 10287603.
    Abstract:
    The responsibilities and legal duties of not-for-profit healthcare organizations differ from those of for-profit organizations. Because of this difference, not-for-profit organizations often cannot be treated and regulated as for-profit institutions would be, especially when the legal question of antitrust arises. When Federal agencies responsible for enforcing antitrust laws begin to understand the difference, they will also begin to realize that strategies by not-for-profit organizations, such as mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations, are not opportunities to monopolize an industry, but means of survival.
