What Interests do Health GPOs Really Serve?

The Wall Street Journal posed this question earlier this week. This always interests me when mainstream media takes on the Supply Chain arena.

This article was actually a couple of letters to the editor on the opinion page. Usually when we see opinions voiced about GPOs, it is negative and anti-GPO. One contribution to this article, however, is very pro-GPO.

“…empirical evidence, as well as economic theory, demonstrate that purchasing through GPOs saves money for American hospitals, patients and taxpayers.”
Jon Leibowitz, Counsel to HSCA

Another person writes in voicing the opposite opinion, stating: ” If it looks, sounds and smells like a racket, it is a racket—with congressional blessing. It is very hard to fight off socialized medicine with government-defended fascist schemes.”
Richard E. Ralston Executive Director Americans for Free Choice in Medicine
