Emre Ilter and Thomas Ryan were authors of this bylined article on how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has subjected healthcare providers to more litigation risk related to ACA-inspired industry consolidation. Such lawsuits, the authors wrote, are often brought by whistleblowers “against both competitors and colleagues for a variety of financial and emotional motivations” related to consolidation, adding “what is perhaps surprising is that the litigation is increasingly targeting business models” supporting consolidation.
