We hate pharma and healthinsurancecompanies, but only until we need them. We say we’re unhappy about costs but what we really mean is that we want someone else to pay the costs. We grumble about how expensive they are but don’t really want our doctors or local hospitals to take revenue hits.
Once the federales blocked the healthinsurancecompany mega-mergers, it was only a matter of time before alternative approaches to rearranging the three-dimensional chessboard of the healthcare-industrial complex would emerge. The approach du jour is the vertical merger.

Best of all for physicians and other critics of our current system, I’m not sure we’d need healthinsurancecompanies or programs, other than for the stop-loss protection I mentioned above. I would expect many other efforts at administrative simplification for that same reason.

Prior authorization can also help the healthinsurancecompany potentially negotiate with drug manufacturers for better prices on drugs in exchange for making that drug more accessible to beneficiaries, said Joseph Levy, assistant professor in the HealthPolicy and Management Department at John Hopkins University.
Where is the internet warning label that advises consumers that the thoughts and experiences they share online may be scraped, scrutinized, and interpreted by their healthinsurancecompanies? This incredible group will be meeting again at the National HealthPolicy Conference in Washington DC April 4th and 5th.
The initiative specifically included healthcare – “…the unnecessary complications of dealing with healthinsurancecompanies…” – but I don’t think that goes far enough, fast enough. The FTC, and the Biden Administration more generally, has this right: Time is Money, and that’s our time and our money.
