Abstract
This Note will determine whether the safe harbor regulations, intended to advise hospitals of permissible conduct, have instead created a chilling effect on the competitive market place. Have governmental regulations, in the form of safe harbors, failed to produce clear answers and guidance to hospitals? It would appear that instead of clarifying the issues, these new proposed safe harbor regulations have, in fact, prevented hospitals from offering patients and the federal government cost savings in the form of discounts and rebates.
