Ever notice your doctor’s visits are pricier lately? Turns out, hospitals are buying up small physician practices left and right—one study found prices jump 15% within two years of these takeovers! It’s not just hospitals; big corporations and even Amazon are getting in on the action. The result? Less competition, higher bills, and the old-school solo doc is basically extinct. Regulators are scrambling to keep up, but for now, our wallets are feeling it. #Health #BodyHealth #HealthcareCosts
