Ya got it. You set the price. I proposed a price. But unless I can actually sell it at that price, which I can't, I don't control it. Supply and demand, for the most part, determine the price. Yes, I can set a price and then take my marbles and go home. That is as close as I can get to controlling the price, as I stated earlier. You go out of business if you set prices and no one takes them so you've accomplished nothing. Setting a price is a far cry from control. What I do as a seller is start the bidding and then end up acceding to someone's offer unless there's a lot of demand and they accept my offer or bid the price up. We've gotten off on a tangent here, not directly on topic. The laws of economics play a role in setting up a health care model. If you have alternate universes in which those laws don't exist, we have no basis for talking health care models.
