This is actually a good EO. Prices have gone up. Quality of care has actually gone down. I was hoping Trump would have done this during his term. As health care systems grow larger, they start to act more and more like government, and that’s not what we want.

We should be going the other way. Teddy R would be looking to Break up Kaiser. Break up Providence. Break up Sutter. Empower individual HCPs and their patients. Get the hospital lobby out of DC and promote results-oriented competition for FFS care, as opposed to funneling patients through large HCS and Insurer networks.

I’m well aware, and the hospital and insurance lobbies are huge in DC. This hurts the former…which is a good thing. The HCS consolidation over the last 10 years has negatively affected physicians and patients…full stop.

I guess that's one small victory in this decades long loss for antitrust

Worth it

Break up the big HCS and insurer conglomerates. The larger these corporations get, the more power they have, and the more they start to act like government, in regards to rationing care.
