Overlooked Health Care Crisis with President of AMerican Committment Phil Kerpen

For this discussion, President of Phil Kerpen, argues that one of the most overlooked health care crises in America is the rapid consolidation of hospitals and health systems, which he says is driving up costs, reducing competition, and limiting patient choice. Kerpen contends that large nonprofit hospital systems have benefited from government policies, tax exemptions, and regulatory advantages that encourage consolidation while making it harder for independent physicians and medical providers to compete. He believes these trends have contributed significantly to rising health care expenses and have shifted attention away from reforms that could increase transparency, competition, and affordability for patients.
