The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently launched HealthyCompetition.gov, an easily accessible online portal that allows the public to report health-care practices that may harm competition.

The portal is the latest initiative advanced by the FTC, DOJ, and HHS to seek input on how private-equity and corporate control of health care is affecting the public.

John Commins of HealthLeaders Media provides further analysis: “The ongoing consolidation of payers, providers, and drugmakers in health-care sector and the role of private-equity have gained the attention of state and federal regulators, employers, and the public, in the wake of high-profile debacles, including the Change Healthcare breach and the financial troubles of for-profit Steward Health Care.”
