The League decries capitation, and our counsel are drawing up legal challenges to it. We'll brief you on how to join with colleagues and turn back the tide. There is no violation of antitrust laws when doctors appoint counsel to collectively negotiate fair and ethical contract terms. What is happening now is that MCOs are forcing doctors to compete with one another for poorer and poorer contract terms. We need many more of our colleagues on Long Island to participate in this effort.
