All of which is adding value No, it's value but it's not added. To be added it must be value above and beyond the baseline. There isn't any reason for them to have to be special standouts in order for them to exist. I never said or suggested that there was. I was trying to figure out some reason to support them and I was looking for added value as a way to do that. If there is no added value, then there is no reason to support them above anyone else, beyond defending them from being encroached upon, that is. There's no reason to support their suboptimized expansion. if it does work and they abuse it, they will just lose the market to new or existing specialized competitors (and perhaps eventually to new hospitals as well). I don't think it's that easy. It's not like building new hospitals is a ready option, certainly not unless there's a hospital shortage, and you can buy an extant hospital only if there is a willing seller. I think you're being way to cavalier about this. Providers of goods and services don't typically have a lot of power over the end consumer, unless they can get the government to restrict competition. They do if they own all the providers, effectively a monopoly.
