Will someone please explain this one to me?

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs 
Committee and the Government Information and International
Security Subcommittee are hosting an event today entitled 
"An Overview of the Competitive Effects of Specialty 
Hospitals, focusing on the financial benefits 
that accrue to Medicare."
Sorry, but I don't see the connection.  
Should I be concerned?
