Small players just go out of business and we forget about them. See all the community banks and hospitals that have been getting punished in the last ten years. Big banks and big hospitals are figuring out all the new changes just fine. But the disparate outcomes are clear enough that I am surprised by arguments that regulations are good for little players and bad for small ones.
