Going back to my point, a hospital or company wouldn’t employ a half baked doctor with no degree. They check for those qualifications and verify it. Doing otherwise costs them profit.

will price transparency help @Sophie?

This is why you see occupational licensing resulting in no quality benefit, but higher prices.

just curious what ur thoughts are on it since u thought it was blocked and had no idea what u were talking about

@BarronVon maybe, in the mid-long term. It’s definitely a positive step

hey progress!!!!

trump did something good

I was talking about a different bill

we can agree

Well I disagree, I think Trump should focus on other ways

Such as deregulation.

But yes, I totally support it

Sometimes forced price transparency can *raise* prices

Lol

But hasn’t it failed Congress?

A different bill with that included was blocked in the senate

Trump separately did an EO

he passed with an executive order

he bypassed the senate

cuz they are rinos

> “I don’t know if you have had the misfortune of having health economists tell you about Danish cement,” said Amanda Starc, an associate professor of strategy at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, one of several scholars who mentioned a paper with a punny name: “Government-Assisted Oligopoly Coordination? A Concrete Case.”

> Everybody loves the Danish concrete example!” said Matthew Grennan, an assistant professor of health care management at Wharton, who has studied the effects of price transparency on hospital purchases.

> The Danish government, in an effort to improve competition in the early 1990s, required manufacturers of ready-mix concrete to disclose their negotiated prices with their customers. Prices for the product then rose 15 percent to 20 percent.

Lol

Who do u guys think the nominee at the end of the primary my current predictions are sanders 50% Bloomberg 15% Biden 5% Warren 5% brokered convention 25%

So it’s not a silver bullet, for once in a blue moon I hope it’s struck down by some judge in Hawaii.

But I support Trump’s good efforts of increasing FDA generic approval by deregulation

buttigeg hopefully

And increasing imports from other countries.

The abstract
> In 1993 the Danish antitrust authority decided to gather and publish firm‐specific transactions prices for two grades of ready‐mixed concrete in three regions of Denmark. Following initial publication, average prices of reported grades increased by 15–20 percent within one year. We investigate whether this was due to a business upturn and/or capacity constraints, but argue that these seem to have little explanatory power. We conclude that a better explanation is that publication of prices allowed firms to reduce the intensity of oligopoly price competition and, hence, led to increased prices contrary to the aim of the authority.

Buttigieg I don’t think he can win his support among minorities is less then 5%

Maybe if he can build up support there

he will once he has more airtime.e

I think Sanders will win the nominee

besides it's not like voters actually choose the candidate

Yeah anything can happen in this crazy field

Unless the Nevada caucus fails lol

Which it probably will.

Yeah I think sanders has a real good shot

sanders would get blown out by trump

in this economy especially
