Ever heard of price-fixing? Ever wonder why so many oil companies all turned in record profits the same year?
It is amazing how many people believe that those with unimaginably huge amounts of money are the most trustworthy. The people who are most likely to be fair in business dealings.
Since you don't already know this, I'll pass it along. A health care provider is not in business to provide health care. It is in business to extract massive profits from people who need health care.
So now, competition is your magic bullet, and competition is the only ingredient necessary for any enterprise to be perfect. Even if it is some phony appearance of competition by people who are colluding to manpulate the marketplace. Just slap the 'competition' label on it, and nothing else matters.
