(“PWHS”), having entered into a merger agreement, which if consummated would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and it appearing to the Commission that a proceeding by it in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues its complaint pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 21(b), stating its charges as follows: NATURE OF THE CASE 1. The merger of Inova and PWHS (“the Merger”) will reduce vital competition and result in higher prices and reduced non-price competition for general, acute care inpatient hospital services in Northern Virginia. Although health plans are the direct customers of Respondents, higher prices for hospital services are passed on to employers, unions, and other group purchasers of health insurance plans and - ultimately - are borne by the individuals and families residing in Northern Virginia. 1 2. Both Inova and PWHS provide high quality general, acute care inpatient hospital services to health care consumers in Northern Virginia.1 Inova already is the dominant hospital system in Northern Virginia.

Debbi Wilson’s illness and subsequent death has turned my world upside down because I have always counted on Deb to tell me which way was up! That’s why this edition of the newsletter is a tad late. Frankly, I have a hard time putting words on paper in her ab- sence. Without Deb to prod me into meeting the deadline, I admit I have had a hard time getting back up to speed. Having admitted that, I want to thank Jane Higham, Judy Hutchinson and Nathaniel Lee for their help in keeping the internal gears running for the Museum lately.
