New @econliberties white paper, featured to today’s WaPo UnitedHealth story.
I address health care’s new frontier of consolidation: insurance companies gobbling up medical practices, pharmacies, & much more—fueled by tidal shifts in financing and regulatory policy.
Wonky 🧵👇

📢 Exciting news! 🎉 Just published a paper in @Health_Affairs with Zach Brown, @smilleralert, @healtheconnort1, & @Andy_Ryan_dydx. 🏥 Our study, funded by @Arnold_Ventures, examines the impact of the Oregon state employee plan’s hospital payment cap on hospital prices.

A disappointing outcome, for sure.
In particular, it looks like even the tiny site-neutral payment fix from the House package is getting left out.
Similarly, it doesn't look like we're going to get better Medicare Advantage data or information on PE & payer ownership.

I definitely support Oregon HB 4130 put forth by @RepBenBowman. We need to take action to limit the rampant spread of private equity in health care. This is a good first step. You can contact Rep Bowman’s office to share your thoughts!
@DGlaucomflecken please publicize and support Oregon House Bill 4130 that would stop PE and corporations from controlling Oregon medical practices @TakeMedBack
