They will be next, and tough. The owners of the firms who get money on the sale are all that matters. In American capitalism, doctors are just cogs to make money, and accountants will be too.

At some point hopefully the US will catch up to other developed countries and introduced some much needed legislation so that is no longer the case.

  The issue is more cultural than legal, I think. This behavior is acceptable in more and more quarters.

    I dunno, you don't see PE-run law-firms since you need legally need to be lawyer to run one. It doesn't seem that much of a stretch to me to require somebody to have expertise in the field that the company operates in. What to do about holding companies I'm not too sure, but not opposed to calling it anti-competitive and banning them.

  Republicans will basically be undoing Democratic work from now on because that gets votes now, while skirting the law as much as possible with executive orders. Democrats may or may not do the same, but no one knows who the next generation of electable Democratic presidential candidates are. At 4 year intervals, this makes any serious empire building ventures (encouraged by legislation) very risky. We're basically coasting on inertia and USD dominance, and that is quite a lot of inertia, but Trump is doing his best to slam on the brakes.

    It's a cycle that can't sustain, and will lead to the destruction of the US, if not as a country via civil war, then with it losing it's place on the world stage rapidly and extensively. The only solution is somehow to force or trick red state populations into learning what they need to so they can vote with information rather than beliefs, or getting rid of the electoral college so they can be disregarded entirely.

fortunately, people make decisions outside of the Capitalism framework all the time.. those people include Doctors themselves. Think of Capitalism as a force of gravity in the system, but not the only one. Oversimplifying "america" mostly does not penetrate the topic as a real world system IMHO
