To Investigate how Hospitals are can create monopolies as they have done in Altoona, PA in all related med services

Created by R.K. on November 19, 2014

many areas are being taken over
by hospitals i.e.UPMC AS IN Pa small communities as
mine BLAIR Co. we have no choice but to use their services they own most pharmacies' home health care medical supplies 99.9% of PCP who must use their UPMC hospitalist's So your PCP can't visit you in the hospital! UPMC HOSPITALS claim to be non-profit but they own the UPMC health plans that are for PROFIT! Conflict of interest? I sure think so . I'm a retired employee of the COMMENWEALTH OF PA UPMC recently started administrating the PENNSYLVANIA EMPLOYEES BENIFIT HEALTH PLAN leaving me two options UPMC HMO OR ATENA PPO IF I were to go with ATENA I would have to go out of network to Any UPMC HOSPITALS DOCTORS ECT That would cost me a lot!So I have no choice higher costs for tax payers who got paid
