I don’t know because when you put ceilings on costs, you get shortages ala gas lines in the 1970’s. If you tell people they can only charge so much for an MRI, they will stop doing them and shut down the program if they are taking a loss. I would love to cap some kind of costs, but I think the costs are more tied to the percentage reimbursement moreso than pure supply and demand because there are so many players and variables that make healthcare as it is very uncapitlistic and uncompetitive.
