Impact of Consolidation on Health Care

Four top experts in the field of hospital management and anti-trust issues gathered in a virtual seminar at the University of Pennsylvania's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of hospital mergers and consolidations. Included were a current and former official from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that has recently ramped up its efforts to slow the pace of anti-competitive health care consolidation that, over the last 30 years, has consistently raised health care delivery prices and costs.
