Hillary Clinton Is “Skeptical” of Health-Insurer Mergers

Hillary Clinton Is “Skeptical” of Health-Insurer Mergers-nationaljournal: Hil­lary Clin­ton is join­ing the de­bate over re­cent pro­posed in­surer mer­gers, ex­press­ing “ser­i­ous con­cerns” and say­ing they could raise mar­ket con­cen­tra­tion and drive down com­pet­i­tion.  This builds on Clin­ton’s con­sumer-fo­cused health care re­forms, which have thus far favored pa­tients over key in­dustry play­ers like in­surers and phar­ma­ceut­ic­al com­pan­ies.
