Mr. Justice Stevens,
concurring in part.
In this case (1) the plaintiff-physicians have a financial stake in the outcome' of the litigation, and (2) they claim that the statute impairs their own constitutional rights. They therefore clearly have standing to bring this action.
Because these two facts are present, I agree that the analysis in Part II-B of Mr. Justice Blackmun’s opinion provides an adequate basis for considering the arguments *122based on the effect of the statute on the constitutional rights of their patients. Because I am not sure whether the analysis in Part II-B would, or should, sustain the doctors’ standing, apart from those two facts, I join only Parts I, II-A, and III of the Court’s opinion.
