   Jim Cantwell: Hi, I'm Jim Cantwell, a budget analyst with the House Budget Committee.
   
   Years ago, I would have introduced myself as a health economist, but then, I came to work for government, and so, I'm a budget analyst.
   
   [Laughter.]
   
   Jim Cantwell: And so, my question, I guess, comes about because of these distant memories as a health economist that markets should matter, and prices should matter.
   ...
   Len Nichols: Well, Jim, it's interesting how you--when you said sort of God forbid government should require this, you just described Maryland, of course, that indeed, you can do this.
   ...
   Paul Ginsburg: Yes, I have a comment, Jim, from an economist's perspective that, you know, in economics 101, we assume that all people in the market are operating efficiently.
   ...
   MR. CANTWELL: I'd like to thank Len for clarifying; perhaps I wasn't clear.
   ...
   MR. CANTWELL: Let the hospital set their own price, but let it be a single price.
   
   Thank you.
