The U.S. health care industry, like many industries, continues to face the need to adapt to new realities stemming from dynamic changes in the external environment. Some nonprofit hospitals have converted to integrated nonprofit/for-profit structures, fostering intra-firm co-opetition, that is, simultaneous cooperation and competition between units. This article examines this phenomenon and provides recommendations regarding controls and incentives that can help administrators actively manage co-opetition and promote shared utility between units. In industries where talent-intensive human capital competes for common resources and revenues, co-opetition can be a strategic tool to navigate competitive forces.

Important trends are emerging from evidence of health care industry concentration in the United States. Some of these are the durable consumer concerns—cost, choice, and access—which have received attention throughout the introduction of managed care. But with the intensified industry concentration, these have been joined by concerns about pricing power, control and quality, integrity of the health system and health policy-making, and clashing institutional mandates. Such trends are particularly evident in the hospital and pharmaceutical industries.

In 1899, Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of the U.S. Office of Patents, urged President McKinley to abolish the Patent Office by saying, “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” Fortunately for the health care industry, there have been more significant “medical inventions” in the 89 years following Duell's utterance than in all of recorded history preceding it.There is now a crisis in medical technology, and it has not been caused by a lack of ideas from innovative clinicians, inventors, and scientists. Instead, it is a result of sincere, but often spasmodic, efforts to control health care costs, which in the minds of many observers threaten the national economy, if not the country's survival.

The sweeping new health reform law embodied in this legislation pays for its cost through tax increases in a number of ways The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 similarly affects many taxpayers with numerous changes in the tax law which either increase or decrease a taxpayers burden depending on income levels.
