1. Haha, you literally admit in your first statement that this will eventually lower the prices of medical goods to providers. How many hospitals and providers will go out of business? No many. Obviously, when prices in an industry fall, it's not to the benefit of providers, suppliers or manufacturers unless there is a corresponding increase in demand. Healthcare has pretty inelastic demand, so it's no surprise than when prices go down doctors, pharma companies, and device manufacturers will lose out. But the consumer gains by getting a better price.

So to sum up, you agree this will drive down prices. That's game.

2. You simply cannot start capping prices on drug and device manufacturers. I'm not sure why on earth you think that's viable, but it's not. Insurance is a completely different industry, regulated in a completely different manner. You can't start dictating prices to manufacturers through government fiat. That's set.

3. Everyone knows there were multiple bills floating around when the Aca came into effect. There are multiple bills floating around congress on any given issue. Meaningless. I also don't care about specific prices at specific hospitals. We are talking about a national policy, anecdotes about individual hospitals are meaningless. Like I said, you haven't contributed any insight into this. Please, please, tell me something that isn't all over google, otherwise your experience isn't very useful or relevant here. And that's match.

Aren't you inadvertently pointing out the inherent flaw in a profit-based healthcare system?

Within the next year or so you guys are going to learn that the western nations are so far beyond bankruptcy that they will never recover and that knowing this the G20 nations have set into motion a conspiracy, YES CONSPIRACY, to lock in their physical power with total informational awareness and built in financial controls via technical development. They've built back doors into everything.

Unfortunately even physically seizing all of the wealth of the world won't be enough to save the system from collapse, there simply isn't enough in existence to cover the unfunded liabilities of the G20 nations

therefore wave function collapse is a foregone conclusion

its math
