Shortly after e-commerce emerged in the health care arena GPO’s, manufacturers and distributors rushed in and acquired interest in these companies only to minimize the threat technology would have on their market control and profits. As if this wasn’t enough, they also used their influence to keep potential marketplace competitors from entering the market and thus maintaining their stranglehold on competition and distribution. Their influence extended to financial firms who they persuaded to limit investments in potential market competitors. This untold story is tragic and has recently been aided by our U.S. courts unwillingness to enforce antitrust laws. GPO’s, manufacturers and distributors continue to exploit free and open markets to improve their own position in health care yet don’t seem willing to allow providers to do the same. Health care providers can no longer tolerate this abhorrent situation and as a result fail to gain any significant or sustainable cost reduction in the products and services that they purchase.
