Thread: Where does price fixing work?

    Where does price fixing work?

    I keep here people for uni health insurance say that price fixing works everywhere. So I am trying to find out where its working so great but no one ever gives me hard examples.

    Anyone have any examples of the successes and failures of price fixing.

    Price Fixing also = Profit Fixing

    the largest donators to political campaigns get the best Profit Fixing legislation.



    Maybe PRICE FIXING on Government... which should be an amendment. Never to run a debt or deficit EVER.

    It doesn't work unless your goal from the beginning is to cripple a specific industry.

    It should be called something like price freezing and not price fixing so give it a positive connotation.

    Some insurance plans, like my dental plan, have "fixed prices" in the sense that they will only pay up to a certain amount for certain proceedures. If it costs more, then you have to come up with the difference. This allows you to choose the type of care you want to but limits what it will cost the insurance company. It encourages consumers to seek out lower cost options rather than wanting the "best" care at whatever the cost when they do not see their own bills if they have full coverage.

    Price fixing works quite well in one, and ONLY one place....
