Not this again...Limiting it to a % of something will just make the current system increase costs to the point where 10% becomes enough to continue paying fat checks to all these leeches.
It doesn't work.
- egberts1 2y agoUmmm, now that I had time to visualize at macroeconomic level, simple cap at each middleman's transactional behooves the supply chain to conspire on price-fixing just to feed and assist all the middlemen down the line to the patient, as you've asserted. To introduce inter-middleman fighting ensues between favorable price and lower price... Fixing at 1% total for each step along the way doesn't work because one can just add even more middlemen. Fixed 2% price, over entire chain: A competing supplier can easily undercut that downstream conspiratorial bloat.
