I'd noticed some strange changes at our veterinary office, where they'd usually give my dog a full round of shots once a year, suddenly they decided to break it up into multiple different rounds, meaning I'd pay 3 times instead of the one. After a little research I'd found that they'd been bought by a private equity firm, and on further inspection had found a lot (NYC) of practices had changed hands the last few years.

There's been some antitrust cases, but the FTC clearly can't block many. The changes are clearly costing everyone more money for no reason, but can anyone really block this?
