Abstract: Abstract The fourth hearing of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition, Policy and Consumer Rights culminated in a discussion of the Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative (HGPII) both as to its then current status and future prospects. At the same time, the subcommittee proposed three measures as possible avenues for reform of the GPO operations. In this chapter, we provide a brief discussion of these proposals and our analysis of their potential impact on the GPO industry.1
