Are you arguing that since they haven't driven prices down by very much, that's evidence that they want to keep prices high?

If not, then perhaps you can rephrase.

That wasn't my point... but now that you mention it. They obviously are not policing the marketplace from a cost perspective.

Assuming they have a relatively fixed gross profit percentage, then higher health care payouts will deliver a higher gross dollar return.

Just thinking out loud.
