This is bullshite and Medicare is not really a good example to use for price controls and one could argue that Medicare price controls are part of the reason medical pricing is as fricked up as it is...

Agree from a capitalistic standpoint. And without the higher prices, there'd be no stores in the hood. But if I am subject to it and can make it work, they can as well.

Yet a grocery store in a low income area often has insanely high prices. Why? Transportation costs, lower volume buying, higher crime rate, etc are also reasons the prices are higher...

To a degree, but not to the degree that I see here locally. Especially when the store is in low crime area and did well before the current owners (that purchased it with free gov't money cause they ME immigrants) jacked up the price even more. Even though they essentially got it for free. It's ridiculous. Many other examples abound. FYI-I'm against price controls but since they apply to my profession I don't give two shits if more feel the pain. Maybe then the impact would smack people in the face hard enough for them to realize it's bad.
