Nothing unless they compromise the quality of health care they provide
to maximize their profits. That would also apply if we didn't *apply
limits.

Capitalist motivations aside, I think some industries should not be
driven by the profit motive. Imagine if our fire or police departments
were motivated to charge as much as the market would bear for their
services....and strategically selected to omit providing services to
certain non-paying segments of the population.

My volunteer FD works exactly that way.

No pay -- they don't respond.
