Couldn't you argue that's not over, but under-regulation? The problem is, as you said, "make your chargemaster price so high." Such things are not allowed in many countries with national insurance options. Why not? Simple: because governments are paying, and governments can negotiate the prices or simply enact laws or regulatory bodies that determine the fair price of procedures, and especially, drugs.

You could argue it's the wrong kind of regulation, but at least in terms of level of regulation, I'm not sure I'll describe it as less.
