of the industry, asking questions like how anticompetitive behavior could be driving up the cost of care.
"We cannot continue to subsidize hospital oligopolies," Rep. Victoria Spartz said in a statement to Axios. "We either bring competition back to [the] health care market or let the government have a full takeover of health care — full government monopoly — which will be fatal for value."Democrats like Rep. Lori Trahan , who sits on the House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee, say community hospitals reliant on public payers need special consideration.
"Without serious action at the federal level, these community hospitals are at real risk of going under and forcing patients in need of care to neighboring hospitals that are likely faring no better," Trahan said in a statement. "The federal government should be pulling on every lever available to assist these critical providers, including examining a formal definition so we can more effectively resource them to care for our communities.
