Department of Justice Takes Interest in UPMC Monopoly Case
Department of Justice Highlights UPMC's Monopoly Allegations
The recent involvement of the Department of Justice in the lawsuit against UPMC underscores significant concerns regarding healthcare monopolies. The federal lawsuit claims UPMC has engaged in practices detrimental to healthcare workers, including:
- Acquisitions of 28 health care systems
- Closure of hospitals affecting patient care
- Imposition of non-compete clauses on employees
- Blacklisting former employees from future job opportunities
This class action lawsuit, initiated by a former nurse from Erie, aims to address the extensive control UPMC has over both patients and its employees.
