Leverage the attention on this merger to advocate for policy changes that make future anti-competitive health mergers easier to prevent.
Use this high-salience merger as a concrete example to build support for stronger merger standards in health care. Focus on policy and oversight that makes it easier to stop highly consolidating deals and to account for harms beyond prices, including quality and labor impacts, as described in the cause. This is a parallel track: it likely won’t decide the immediate case outcome, but it can shape the rules for the next one.
Why this works
- Legislative action could cement a more competition-friendly framework.
- If the Biomanufacturing Excellence Act can acknowledge supply chain competition issues, perhaps a “Healthcare Competition Act” could ride that wave.
- This would help not just this case but across the board (hospitals, insurers, etc.).
- It also shows constituents that elected officials are actively protecting them from monopolies.
Tech Oversight Project
AdvocacyHolding Big Tech accountable through policy and pressure
The Tech Oversight Project is a tech policy advocacy organization launched in 2022 to push for aggressive government action against Big Tech monopolies:. It is the only watchdog focused solely on advancing antitrust legislation and regulatory scrutiny of companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple. The Tech Oversight Project uses campaign-style tactics — rapid response communications, opposition research, and media outreach — to counter Big Tech’s lobbying and rally support for reforms that protect consumers, privacy, and competition:.
Mechanism
How Tech Oversight Project uses funding
