Hospital Consolidation Across Geographic Markets: Insights from Market Participants on Mechanisms for Price Increases

The authors identify policy levers that regulators can use to increase competition, but the oligopolistic nature of many health care markets in the United States suggest that even more significant government action may be needed.
