Insurance companies’ ownership of pharmacies and hospitals is raising consumer costs, but economic competition can counter inflating expenses, according to bipartisan legislation from Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, and Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts. “We need more competition. We need protections for patients.

Major League Baseball should not benefit from an exclusion of antitrust laws, especially after the league’s recent religious discrimination against numerous players this week, Sen, Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, told The Lion in an interview. “Major League Baseball gets a special sweetheart deal that no other sport gets, and no other business gets.

I just think it's outrageous.” Josh Hawley
