Well, there it is again. Everyone screaming about restranint of trade, about people not being able to make what the market bears, of the crushing of capitalism.... and then the same people go and complain about how much excess profit attorneys take from malpractice lawsuits. Why are attorneys locked out of the free enterprise system by your ilk?
Funny, what's the rate of profit on hearing aid providers? Or opticians, or durable medical goods? All of these directly impact my health care costs, but I don't hear a peep (perhaps becasue I can't AFFORD hearing aids!) about excess profits.
What about obscene hedge fund profits- still going by the way- open only to those who have $100,000 or often much more, to invest. Record gas prices? Pure profit by a cartel- not supply and demand- as we're seeing now.
All that's ok, just as long as we screw attorneys. Free market supporters my *&*. Hypocrites all.
