Isn't price fixing is done for U.S. Medicare payments to doctors, hence the constant wailing over the "doc fix" issue?
I can imagine a scenario where the age for Medicare was lowered slowly over time to cover more and more people. (Unlikely, but not beyond the realm of possibility).

The point being that if everyone gets the same price, than Medicare always pays the cheapest rate (since there is only one rate).
