I'm just happy I don't have to worry about corporate practice of medicine laws. As a professional thumb-wrestler, I'm exempt from all that nonsense.

D? Really? I didn't know HMOs were in it for the profits. Must be a trick question!

This is a tricky one, but I think C is the right answer. Restricting HMOs from hiring physicians directly is a key part of corporate practice of medicine laws.
