This wasn’t partisan theater.It was rare, public agreement.In a House Ways and Means hearing chaired by Rep. Jason Smith, lawmakers from both sides did something unusual — they stopped pretending this system is broken by accident.Health insurance executives were questioned on record about consolidation so extreme it would trigger antitrust alarms in almost any other industry.One corporation.Insurance approval.Medical clinics.Pharmacies.Drug pricing.Prescription access.When asked to explain it, a CEO didn’t dodge.He described it plainly.Calmly.As if this level of control were normal.And that’s the point.This is why care feels like a maze.Your doctor says yes.A different arm of the same company says no.No reason given.No accountability attached.Delays aren’t glitches.Denials aren’t mistakes.Rerouting you “in-network” isn’t convenience.When the same entity profits from slowing, redirecting, or refusing care, the outcome is working exactly as designed.These companies don’t answer to patients.They answer to shareholders.Every prior authorization.Every coverage reversal.Every “not medically necessary.”That’s revenue protection.This isn’t a healthcare system.It’s a vertically integrated extraction model wearing a lab coat.It was admitted under oath.In Congress.With bipartisan outrage.And then — nothing happened.That’s not a failure.That’s the business model.So ask yourself honestly:What incentive exists for this to change?View all 5,925 comments
