I’m pinched for time again this week.
What the heck is going on. Don’t youz guys know I’m supposed to be cutting back a little? (In my dreams!)
Last week’s Tip noted the striking difference between my encounters with two

A Tips reader and friend responded with a link to an HHS Press Release dated January
15th; ‘A Report in Response to the Consolidation in Health Care Markets Request for Information.’ Heck of a coincidence.
‘Key themes’ from the report start with “Provider consolidation leads to higher prices and less access for patients.”
Duh!

Oh, and thanks, Mike.
