✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution calls on the U.S. Senate, House, and President to pass a federal law that would stop healthcare companies from owning both the supplier and buyer sides of a healthcare transaction. This practice, known as vertical integration, can drive up costs and limit choices for patients and providers. NYC Council is urging federal action to increase competition and make healthcare more affordable for New Yorkers.
