Anyone care to venture a guess how much Bluecross Blue Shield payed?

Probably about 65-75%, so about $8500. In the end, why does it matter? It still doesn't change the whole bit about leverage I discussed above.
Even with BCBS paying a reduced rate, health care costs are still increasing. With that in mind, even enacting your "government regulated pricing", how would it decrease costs? Like I said above, it seems like you want the government to regulate pricing because you don't think it's fair.
