Congress Investigating Crony Capitalism?

I’m not hopeful that anything will become of this.

{{ The lawmakers’ efforts reflect growing public worry that the three conglomerates have become too large and rife with conflicts. Increasingly, Americans rely on one of the three titans for nearly all aspects of their medical care. The same company that insures them also employs their provider and dispenses their drugs.

UnitedHealth, for example, now includes a major insurer; a pharmacy benefit manager, or P.B.M.; a vast network of doctors and clinicians; a chain of surgery centers; a clearinghouse that processes insurance claims; a mail-order pharmacy; and a bank. }}

United Health bought up my local health care provider. Let’s just say if my bladder were full and they were on fire, I wouldn’t do anything about it.
