>> Some may have set a limit for themselves as to the number they will accept with Medicaid but by and large, the medical community is not going to turn away millions of new customers..... Analogy....consider an airliner with only 80% of the seats sold....

Dude, you totally don't get it.

You don't discount a product, ANY product, below its marginal cost.

Airliners will discount seats but never below the marginal cost of the seat. Ever. If they can get $1 more than marginal cost they are better off with someone sitting in it. But they're not going to sell a seat for $99 if the incremental cost to them of selling that seat is $100.

You're an engineer; this should not be that complicated for you.
