The FTC is doing this for your health: The Tipline for 17 January 2020

Federal Trade Commission member Christine Wilson warned yesterday that antitrust enforcement cannot solve all problems in healthcare.

Judge Thomas Hardiman warned at the outset that the argument might go into extra innings – and indeed it did, running longer than two hours. We also have updates on a class action filed by app developers against Facebook; a federal court's ruling in favour of AmEx; and a Supreme Court amicus brief in support of Google.
