  The FTC warned that the merger of Union Hospital and Terre Haute Regional Hospital would harm competition in the region.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) staff has reiterated its opposition to the proposed merger between Union Health System and Terre Haute Regional Hospital (THRH), as outlined in a recent statement. The FTC's concerns primarily revolve around the potential for reduced competition in the healthcare market in the Terre Haute, Indiana area, which could lead to higher costs for patients, lower quality of care, and reduced innovation in healthcare services. The merger would combine two of the largest healthcare providers in the region, potentially creating a near-monopoly. The FTC staff emphasized that such consolidation could harm consumers by limiting choices and possibly leading to higher prices due to decreased competitive pressure. This opposition comes despite arguments from the merging entities that the merger would lead to operational efficiencies and improved patient care.
