An exciting day at #mnleg ! The MN Senate just passed one of the strongest bills protecting against hospital monopolies in the country. Thank you to Melissa H Wiklund for her tireless work on this. Back to the House! #BreakEmUp

1/ On behalf of the SEIU, Ted Tatos and I studied the potential exercise of monopsony power by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) over hospital workers.

Here’s a short 🧵on the key takeaways. You can read the whole study here:

The proposal also includes additional funding for the Antitrust Division, so the AG can better protect Minnesotans from corporate monopolies and ensure fair and open markets for farmers, small businesses, workers and families. #BreakEmUp

We need much stronger regulations and we need to #BreakEmUp #Monopolies Everyone should listen to ⁦Zephyr Teachout⁩ book

Kicks McNulte Big dinner and Big girlfriend have been in cahoots for years! #Breakemup !

Hospital monopolies are bad for healthcare workers! The #mnleg can protect against this sort of thing by passing HF402, which among other things creates a public interest standard for considering hospital mergers that would take the impact on workers into account. #BreakEmUp

🚨BIG: Our new report with Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge finds Big Pharma’s antitrust violations cost Americans a whopping $40 BILLION on branded pharmaceuticals in 2019.

You can read the report below, but here’s some additional context and policy solutions.👇🧵

Thanks also to Minnesota Farmers Union members who identified healthcare consolidation as a top issue! Dr. Dana Seifert testified on the impact healthcare monopolies have on rural providers & MFU Pres Gary Wertish & VP Anne Schwagerl traveled MN to share farmers perspective! #BreakEmUp

I literally hate the judgement day beyond words #wweraw #breakemup

Right in time for floor session today in the MN Senate, which will include voting on a commerce omnibus bill that has a prescription drug affordability board and probitions on price-gouging to help reign in pharma monopolists! #BreakEmUp

Excited for another “Evening of Trustbusting” in a couple of weeks, this time at TheGoodAcre! #BreakEmUp

Early in my career, I used to get really frustrated when we would fall short. As a result of this frustration, I was really quick to blame others.

I thought this was the right way to operate. I didn’t…

Give 'em the 💵💵💵 to #BreakEmUp

And we have passed the House, now to the Governor! This was not an easy fight but Rep. Robert Bierman never wavered. Of course this would not have happened without Attorney General Keith Ellison’s leadership and the advocacy of Minnesota Nurses and SEIU Healthcare Minnesota & Iowa. #mnleg #BreakEmUp
