Who exactly is going to cut their prices ? Independent physicians can barely pay their bills. DPC is already a bargain. Hospitals are going to get rid of facility fees or walk away from keeping 340b margins and passing that to the patient ? No.
Big PBMs are going to stop charging fees ? No. Big insurers are going to stop gaming vertical integration transfers ? No

Break them up.
They have become Too Big To Care
