Hanger Won't Stop Until it has All the Business

Dan,

I am glad that you are helping with the cause of containing Hanger and their monopolistic quest of the O&P industry. This is a company that thrives on gaining markets and driving out competition. They will not stop until they have all the business in the US.

What bothers me and what I dont understand is why so many indendents support this company. Hanger was formed by independents selling out and cashing in. Now Hanger has a huge network of practices and they have the other sides of their business in place with sps and linkea. This will only further their ability to dominate this industry.

Why do so many independents support Hanger by buying from sps and by signing with linkea. They need to understand that by doing this they are contributing to Hangers success and sooner or later Hanger will cut them off once their goals are met.

Thanks for your support.

Name Withheld
