Public Health Center: Healthcare Consolidation and costs

2023-2024 Project

The Healthcare Consolidation and Costs Project studied the impact of hospital monopolization upon healthcare costs and access. We examined how rising administrative burden in hospitals and insurance networks contribute to rising healthcare costs. 

We partnered with Connecticut Health Policy Project to support research and policy analysis on healthcare access.
