Abstract

Antitrust litigation involving hospitals is common. This paper describes recent developments and underlying issues in antitrust law with respect to hospital–hospital relations, hospital–physician relations, and hospital–payer relations. A key unanswered question in each of these areas is how government regulation and public purchasing affect competitive markets for hospital services.
