So in otherwords, healthcare providers should seek to obtain the highest possible price for product. Seems like the perfect rationalization for price gouging. Snake oil salesmen need apply. I always thought of healthcare - with all its implied demand inelasticity - as fitting squarely in the public domain given whats at stake, i.e. human life. But by your LOGIC, lets just let the free market purist doctrine of perfect discrimination roll all over that.
So when gas prices are up again, I expect to see the same roll out of free market theory
in defense of $5/gallon premium.
