I have an example of the only two major hospital systems (95% of market) coordinating the market (keeping others out)conspiring with 3 payors (also owning 95% of market) behind closed doors. A formal USDOJ investigation is in progress. This is an obvious antitrust violation that can be made into a model for how market concentration results in market abuse.
