In addition to the stakeholder reforms and corporate governance changes aimed at promoting accountability, the Accountable Capitalism Act would break up healthcare conglomerates that have prioritized profits over patient care. By mandating a stakeholder corporate model, the legislation seeks to curb the monopolistic practices and price gouging that have made healthcare increasingly unaffordable for many Americans. The separation of vertically integrated healthcare giants would foster greater competition and prevent anti-consumer conduct that undermines affordable access to essential medical services. This core provision represents a direct challenge to the unchecked consolidation that has allowed a handful of massive conglomerates to dominate the healthcare industry at great cost to patients and taxpayers.
