The COMPETE Act would likely aim to increase competition in the health care industry, possibly by reducing barriers that prevent new providers or companies from entering the market or by limiting practices that reduce consumer choice. The bill could affect patients by potentially lowering health care costs or expanding access to services, while also impacting hospitals, insurance companies, and other health care providers. The specific details of how it would accomplish these goals would depend on the bill's full text and provisions.
