Sort of like the old Trust groups that held sway over the turn of the century. Where the necessities to life were price controlled by the groups that sold them. Fair market values were subverted by the trust groups when all the groups set the same price. through mutual agreement.
It also pertains to a company that has complete control of a product and use it to jack up the prices. as in the Ma Bell (AT&T) trials that broke up that business.
I am surprised how many people turn a blind eye to the similarities to this and should start attacking the heavy profit margin for items in which life depends. That's the only way health care reform is going to go down.
