Experts: Health Care Needs More Competition

The health care market in the United States needs greater competition and antitrust enforcement to keep prices from rising further, experts said at a congressional hearing Thursday, although they disagreed on the extent to which Obamacare will help or hurt competition.

The House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform and Antitrust Law held the hearing on Obamacare and health care consolidation to examine the effects of competition and the Affordable Care Act on health care costs.
