This is a good piece. I would add one more element…
Many clinicians are excited about moving toward value-based care, but CMS and many insurers only permit large groups to participate in the more interesting and lucrative forms of VBC.
Hence: aggregation.
Who owns your doctor’s office? In our op-ed for @thehill, @CM_Whaley and I discuss what’s
driving doctors to sell independent practices to corporate investors like private equity. We offer paths forward.

We should be concerned about how private equity is reshaping US health care, write Professors @ysingh_hopkins and @CM_Whaley, but in their opinion in @thehill, they discuss why doctors are eager to hand off their practices, and for not just for the payday. thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

Hospital prices have risen more than any other product or service across the US economy says Prof @CM_Whaley, due to “increased concentration, better and more expensive technology and insurance coverage that lessens how much patients feel price increases.” thehill.com/changing-america…

Employers are responsible for providing health insurance for half the country, but have little insight into prices. Innovative groups like @EmplyrsForumIN use data to push for policy change and be responsible fiduciaries: wsj.com/health/healthcare/th… via @WSJ
Yes, this is in fact the job:
Health economists attribute high overall prices and price differences among hospitals to provider market power. They do this by applying assumptions, models, and tools to analyze retrospective data and reach conclusions.

The FTC is suing a private equity firm for attempting to monopolize Texas' anesthesiology market. @BrownHSPP Professor @ysingh_hopkins says this represents a more aggressive stance for the agency. "The FTC is not fooling around."

Great piece on how high hospital prices (driven by consolidation) erode workers for low-income workers.
