Start up a monopoly. Anthem is the only insurance company that will be in the NH insurance "exchanges". All others are shut down. As soon as Anthem was granted monopoly power, they tell one third of NH hospitals and their associated doctors, to buzz off. Anthem will not pay any medical bills at the blacklisted hospitals or their doctors. Littleton Regional Hospital (my hospital) was on the hit list but managed to dodge the bullet somehow and got saved.
Is there a difference between "single payer" and monopoly?
Anthem claims that blacklisting one third of the hospitals in NH will save them money. It will certainly put a lot of hospitals out of business.
