Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct annual studies on healthcare competition and consolidation at the state level for ten years. The studies will track metrics including professional licensing requirements, hospital and medical practice mergers, state regulatory laws affecting healthcare facilities, insurance options, the number of healthcare providers operating each year, and market concentration data using economic analysis tools. The studies will be conducted in consultation with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, drawing on data those agencies possess. Each year, the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation must submit reports to four congressional committees and publish the findings and underlying data on a public website in an interactive format so the public and policymakers can track trends in healthcare market competition across states.
