STATEMENT: Auchincloss: “The prospect of UnitedHealth Group purchasing Stewardship Health is alarming.”
Newton, MA - In the response to the news that Steward Health Care has a deal to sell doctor network to UnitedHealth, Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D, MA-04) released the following statement:
“Steward's physician-led practices provide critical medical care to Greater Fall River & Greater Taunton and should continue to operate. But the prospect of UnitedHealth Group purchasing Stewardship Health is alarming. UnitedHealth, a Fortune 5 leviathan already under federal antitrust investigation, has spent five decades corporatizing healthcare to the detriment of patients and physicians. My constituents in southeastern Massachusetts should not be next in line.”
