You think you should dictate the price of someone else’s labor, and that is less predatory or somehow better than someone being able to price their own labor?

I can't 'dictate' anything. I just think that healthcare, for both humans and animals isn't the place for a 'the price is whatever the market will bear' mentality. That mentality assumes the participation of cool, rational actors. People making healthcare decisions for their family or pets do not fit that criteria. I feel it's immoral to use the love one feels for their pets to extract as much as possible from the owner.
I understand you probably feel differently. Frankly you and I will probably not ever agree on this topic as we have different world views.

Me myself? Absolutely not.
But yes, labor should have some means to be controlled for price, so that people cannot be underpaid or overpaid (as many are).

What is the formula for determining underpaid and overpaid?

The formula is what the master says you get paid.

You proposed implementing price controls to “appropriately” allocate society’s resources.
Unless you have specifics, what value does your proposal have? It is trivial to wish for world peace.

Did I wake up in another world where this is a legislative body? We're all just posting our opinions. Just because you don't like mine doesn't put a higher burden of effort on me to post.
I'm sure no amount of specifics would convince you that's a good idea, just as no amount of your specifics would probably convince me otherwise. And that's fine.
I am under no obligation to provide you "value" in my posts.
