Should huge health care companies be broken up?

The health care system has failed Americans, and government officials need to consider breaking up the powerful companies that have price-gouged patients and suppressed competition, the Biden administration’s top antitrust official told STAT. Jonathan Kanter, former assistant attorney general at the Department of Justice, said today’s biggest health care conglomerates — many of which are anchored by health insurers — have built “platforms” like the largest technology companies. He said those platforms have created “large moats” that allow companies to extract excessive profits from consumers and taxpayers, and create an unequal playing field for smaller doctors, pharmacists, insurers, and other parties. In this video, STAT's Bob Herman discusses these issues and more with Kanter.
