The Healthcare Monopoly Problem

What the consolidation of healthcare markets has produced for patients and prices

The Consolidation

The healthcare market consolidation -- the specific merger and acquisition activity that has concentrated hospital systems, physician practices, insurance markets, and pharmacy benefit management in an increasingly small number of large organisations -- has produced the specific market structure that the antitrust research consistently associates with higher prices, reduced competition, and lower quality relative to what competitive markets produce.

The Evidence

The evidence: the FTC and DOJ healthcare merger research documents the specific price increases that follow hospital merger in markets where competition is reduced. The insurance market concentration research documents the specific premium increases and coverage reductions that concentrated insurance markets produce. The pharmacy benefit manager concentration has produced the specific opaque pricing that the PBM research documents.
