| summary | The text proposes a hypothetical "Glass-Steagall for healthcare" to address imbalances in the current system. This regulation would create barriers between different entities in the healthcare industry, such as Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), insurance companies, pharmacies, wholesale drug distributors, specialty physician practices, and middlemen. The goal is to restore checks and balances, ensuring that:
1. Healthcare workers, not influenced by profit motives, make treatment decisions based on medical judgment. 2. Independent medical practices and pharmacies can compete freely. 3. Patients and health plan sponsors (employers, unions) can make informed choices without being swayed by unethical brokers or misleading information.
In essence, this regulation aims to separate profit-driven elements from the decision-making process in healthcare, allowing for a more balanced and patient-centric system. |
