Just to be clear, medical insurance != medical providers. The cap that the ACA set was on insurance companies. And it would be good to put a cap on the profits of medical providers that are paid by the ACA coverage. That however is very complicated.

By comparison, Bush's Medicare Part D prevented the Feds from even negotiating drug prices. Its author, Billy Tauzin, is now a Big Pharma lobbyist.

Yup, and medical providers (like the compounding pharmacy in the pain cream case) need some attention as well and that is missing in the ACA.
