This Article analyzes the development and complexities of the antitrust state action doctrine and the Local Government Antitrust Act as these doctrines apply to both "municipalities" and private entities. The restructuring of a public hospital is used as a model to facilitate the antitrust analysis. The restructuring model, which typically involves the leasing of a hospital facility by a public entity to a private nonprofit corporation, offers the unique opportunity to compare the different standards employed under the state action doctrine and the Local Government Antitrust Act. As a practical matter, the Article provides a framework for a public hospital to evaluate the impact of corporate restructuring on its antitrust liability exposure and to develop strategies to minimize antitrust risks.
本文分析了反垄断州政府行为原则和《地方政府反垄断法》的发展及复杂性，因为这些原则适用于“市政当局”和私人实体。公立医院的重组被用作促进反垄断分析的模型。重组模式通常涉及公共实体将医院设施租赁给私人非营利性公司，这提供了独特的机会来比较州政府行为原则和《地方政府反垄断法》所采用的不同标准。实际上，本文为公立医院提供了一个框架，以评估公司重组对其反垄断责任风险的影响，并制定策略以尽量减少反垄断风险。
