Late last year, Indiana’s Senate pro tempore and Speaker of the House wrote an open letter to leaders of the healthcare industry, urging them to craft a plan to reduce costs. This was a particularly smart, pragmatic and principled approach by Senator Bray and Representative Huston to seek compromise in one of the more vexing challenges the state faces. At issue is the broad monopolization of hospital services and the resulting hospital prices that make Indiana a national outlier on healthcare costs.
