ANTI-competitive #hospital practices **cost #American #families up to $2,500 a year** Don't take it from me. The number is a (conservative) federal estimate. Much of the extra cash goes to executives like Steven Corwin, **who made $26 MILLION in 2024 running a "nonprofit" hospital chain** The report adds to the evidence that hospital price increases are helping drive the #medical COST CRISIS, with hospital executives among the biggest beneficiaries. It highlights a civil suit the Department of Justice filed in March against New York-Presbyterian, a “nonprofit” hospital chain that paid 20 executives $1.5 million or more in 2024, including over $26 million to Dr. Steven Corwin, its chief executive. Hospital prices have risen almost FOURFOLD since 2000, far more than any other major economic sector. The increase in prices comes after decades of consolidation. Nearly half of medical centers have become part of bigger chains since 2000, largely **erasing competition in many cities and metro areas** Alex Berenson Jun 23 2026 https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/anti-competitive-hospital-practices
