Haha, I bet the Scandent executives came up with this scheme during their weekly game of 'Monopoly: Antitrust Edition'.

Personally, I'm leaning towards C. Horizontal division of markets. Scandent is essentially carving out the Empire employee market for itself.

Interesting perspective. It's definitely a tricky situation. But I think it's B. Price-fixing agreement. Scandent is essentially fixing the prices for healthcare services by requiring Empire to contract with them.

I see where you're coming from. But I'm going with A. Horizontal group boycott. Scandent is essentially boycotting other competitors by requiring Empire to contract with them for services.

That's a good point. But I still think it's C. Horizontal division of markets. Scandent is essentially dividing the market for healthcare services among competitors.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Couldn't this also be considered a horizontal group boycott? Scandent is excluding other medical providers from serving Empire employees.
