I don't have documentation. A friend's brother, who is a radiologist,
pays over $100K/year in New Jersey. Having something buy one out
with a contract to deal with the lawsuit protections and problems
would be tempting.
Where I live (Michigan), the flow of ownerships seems to go from
one or a few doctors joining an entity which associates itself
to a particular hospital. That entity joins another entity which
has hospitals in nearby counties. The last entity gets bought
out by national; (this is similar to how local banks are
disappearing).
I do not understand the details of these mergers so I can't
define entity.
