If the US federal government were to assume an active role in setting prices, that could plausibly be called socialist medicine, no? And is therefore verboten.

- s1artibartfast 5y agoI don't think so. Setting a pice you are willing to pay is fundamental to a functional capitalist market. The status now is no cap on coats, so I don't see how adding them to existing programs is more socialist. The key here is I'm not proposing the gov set a cap on prices across the board, just on what they are willing to pay for through their own programs. They should be able to say the ROI on X treatment is too low for the gov to pay for it, but someone with gold played insurance can still get it.
