CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to take action relative to the corporate practice of medicine.
SCR 27 is a Louisiana legislative resolution asking Congress to address the corporate practice of medicine. It requests Congress examine how corporate ownership of healthcare entities may pressure doctors to prioritize profits over patient care, potentially compromising clinical decisions. The resolution specifically asks Congress to ensure healthcare professionals maintain independence, prevent corporate interference in medical choices, and protect patient care quality. As a symbolic resolution (not a law), it does not change current policy but urges federal action to safeguard the doctor-patient relationship. It was unanimously adopted by Louisiana lawmakers in May 2025.
