What it does
Congressional Research Service, Apr 24, 2025This bill temporarily requires studies on health care competition and consolidation at the state level, including collecting information on topics such as licensing of health care professionals and mergers and acquisitions of health care entities (e.g., hospitals and health insurance companies).
For 10 years after the bill's enactment, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation within the Department of Health and Human Services must annually carry out the studies and report to Congress. The office must consult with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission on the studies.
