In today’s fast moving business environment where each and every organization is focusing towards making profit, theirs no doubt that professionals like doctors (physician’s, dentist’s etc.) are also trying to extract as much profit as possible from the target customer without giving a second thought to the ethics or morality. This inhuman approach causes a lot of problem to the citizen of USA as the death rates is increasing rapidly due to no or low reach of healthcare to everyone equally. The merger and acquisition had rapidly increased and government policies also supported those activities because it was believed that the development and increase in healthcare institution will help decrease the problem related to scare healthcare services but eventually these strategic alliance led hospital systems to incur massive revenue by increasing the service costs and providing the same quality.
