The past 18 months have been a busy time for the staffers investigating hospital mergers at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In December 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit affirmed a district court's denial of an FTC preliminary injunction motion,[1] from which the FTC and Solicitor General in March 2012 filed a petition seeking review by the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Phoebe Transaction"). Also in March, the FTC ruled that the 2010 acquisition of control over a rival health system in the Toledo, Ohio, area would have anticompetitive effects and ordered divestiture;[2] the parties reportedly plan to appeal (the "ProMedica Transaction"). In April 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granted the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction against two hospital systems in Rockford, Illinois,[3] prompting the parties to abandon their proposed transaction (the "OSF/Rockford Transaction").At issue in each of these challenges was … [Read more...] about Hospital Consolidations: Facing Competing Pressures to Merge and Remain Independent

0 Have your say THE challenges facing Yorkshire’s police officers are different to those of a decade ago when plans to merge the county’s four forces were dropped by Gordon Brown due to political and public pressure at the time. Today their workload is dominated by ever more sophisticated cyber-crime – or those who use the internet and social media to target the vulnerable.There’s the growing phenomenon of ‘county lines’ where city-based drug dealers, and other gangs, deliberately exploit smaller towns – areas that already have diminished police resources.{GP Taylor: Let the police chase burglars instead of paperwork|Read here}And then there’s the daily need to respond to 999 calls, to solve crimes and to keep the country safe from terrorists – all while coming to terms with austerity cuts that have seen Yorkshire’s forces lose 3,000-plus staff over the past eight years.It can’t continue like this … [Read more...] about The Yorkshire Post says: The thin blue line.

A federal court of appeals has determined that money in inherited individual retirement accounts is not protected from creditors by federal exemption laws.Federal bankruptcy laws permit individuals to claim certain property as exempt from the reach of their creditors. Many types of retirement accounts and benefits are protected by these exemptions. “Inherited” Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) hold funds from persons who established IRAs for their own use and died before depleting the funds in those accounts. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that funds in a non-spousal inherited individual retirement account are not exempt or protected from claims of the heir’s creditors. In re Heffron-Clark, 714 F.3d 559 (7th Cir. 2013).Judge Easterbrook’s opinion considered the exemptions under federal bankruptcy law, 11 U.S.C. §522(b)(3)(C) and (d)(12). Those provisions exempt from creditors’ claims any “retirement funds to the … [Read more...] about Inherited Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) in Wisconsin Not Protected by Federal Bankruptcy Laws from Creditors
