The American Hospital Association and Association of American Medical Colleges have filed an amicus brief in support of the New Jersey health systems that are appealing a court decision to delay their merger following a legal challenge from the FTC.
The FTC sued to block the merger between the two New Jersey-based health systems and won a preliminary injunction earlier this month. But the providers believe that the merger would not raise prices or stifle competition — like the FTC alleges it would — and have filed an appeal.
