Download or read book Antitrust Policy in Health Care Markets written by Roger D. Blair and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care costs in the United States are much higher than in other countries. These cost differences can be explained in part by a lack of competition in the United States. Some markets, such as pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, have elements of monopoly. Other markets, such as health insurance, have elements of monopsony. Many other markets may be subject to collusion on prices, such as generic drugs, or wages, such as the nurse labor market. Lawful monopoly and monopsony are beyond the reach of antitrust laws, but collusion is not. When appropriate, vigorous antitrust enforcement challenging anticompetitive conduct can aid in reducing health care costs. This book addresses monopoly, monopsony, cartels of sellers and buyers, horizontal and vertical merger policy, and antitrust enforcement through private suits as well as the efforts of the antitrust Agencies. The authors demonstrate how enforcing antitrust laws can ultimately promote competition and reduce health care costs.

Download or read book The Health Care Revolution written by Carl F. Ameringer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-04-09 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's market-based health care system, unique among the nations of the world, is in large part the product of an obscure, yet profound, revolution that overthrew the medical monopoly in the late 1970s. In this lucid, balanced account, Carl F. Ameringer tells how this revolution came into being when the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress prompted the antitrust agencies of the federal government—the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department—to change the rules of the health care system. Ameringer lays out the key events that led up to this regime change; explores its broader social, political, and economic contexts; examines the views of both its proponents and opponents; and considers its current trajectory.

Download or read book Managed Care and Monopoly Power written by Deborah HAAS-WILSON and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As millions of Americans are aware, health care costs continue to increase rapidly. Much of this increase in health care costs is due to the development of new life-sustaining drugs and procedures, but part of it is due to the increased monopoly power of physicians, insurance companies, and hospitals, as the health care sector undergoes reorganization and consolidation. There are two tools to limit the growth of monopoly power: government regulation and antitrust policy. In this timely book, Deborah Haas-Wilson argues that enforcement of the antitrust laws is the tool of choice in most cases. Focusing on the economic concepts necessary to the enforcement of the antitrust laws in health care markets, Haas-Wilson provides a useful roadmap for guiding the future of these markets.

Book excerpt: "In Economics 101, we learn that competition and competitive markets provide the biggest bang for the buck. In a perfectly competitive world, scarce resources are allocated in the most efficient way; the goods and services that are valued most highly are produced in the right quantities and are priced appropriately. Perfectly competitive markets, therefore, maximize social welfare, which is the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus. Market imperfections can impede the competitive process and introduce inefficiencies which, in time, can reduce the well-being of society. These imperfections include externalities, public goods, asymmetric information, and monopoly power. The public policy response to these market failures is to promote and preserve competition. Concerns over market imperfections are also present in the U.S. health care sector. Departures from competition can lead to poor quality care and cause losses in the hundreds of billions of dollars"--
Download or read book Healthcare Quality Concerns and Competition Law written by Theodosia Stavroulaki and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market driven healthcare is massively divisive. Opponents argue that a competition approach to medical treatment negatively impacts on quality, while advocates point to increased efficiencies. This book casts a critical eye over both positions to show that the concerns over quality are in fact real. Taking a two part approach, it unveils the fault lines along which healthcare provision and the pursuit of quality would in certain cases clash. It then shows how competition authorities can only effectively assess competition concerns when they ask the fundamental question of how the concept of healthcare quality should be defined and factored into their decisions. Drawing on UK, US and EU examples, it explores antitrust and merger cases in hospital, medical and health insurance markets to give an accurate depiction of the reality and challenges of regulating competition in healthcare provision.
