HCCI's Healthy Marketplace Index report was cited in Washington Monthly's article on congressional hearings related to hospital consolidation.
From the article:
"While the legislation Klobuchar and others are championing may well slow the pace of future merger activity, it won't do much to unwind the already deep and damaging level of concentration in the health care sector. Indeed, nearly 75 percent of all American hospital markets are "highly concentrated," according to a 2019 study by the Health Care Cost Institute."
