"whether a company’s dominant position in an industry hurt consumers (ie created higher prices)." Exactly. Thank you. It's a bummer that the rest of the topic turned into some kind of healthcare talkathon (like the topic on California employment law for contractors).

A quick wikipedia quote concerning Bork's book on the matter: "Bork argues that Congress enacted the Sherman Act as a "consumer welfare prescription."[4] The Supreme Court embraced this view in Reiter v. Sonotone Corp., 442 U.S. 330 (1979) and in all subsequent decisions."
