I don't think California will negotiate prices down by 50%, and I would bet on that (conditional on this bill passing). Anyone - old-gregg? - want to take that bet at even odds? I suggest using the total cost of one each from the list of medical services in old-gregg's second footnote - angiogram, office visit, angioplasty, etc. I'm also open to other terms.

(Studies show[0] that people answer politically-charged questions more accurately when paid for accuracy, so I think we'd have better debates if people bet on their predictions.)
