Uh, huh. For the same 12oz Diet Coke? Hardly.

Except getting medical treatment from different medical professionals is not at all equivalent to getting the same 12oz Diet Coke. Didn't you note upthread how much time and effort you spent on researching the bona fides and directly questioning the doctor that was going to do a procedure on your knee? You don't interrogate the quality of which specific 12oz Diet Coke you're going to buy that way. Because Diet Cokes are fungible, while medical services are not.

And even for fungible products, you can get significant variation in prices. Did you not see where I noted that there are also significant price disparities in the price of gasoline? It's 50% higher in some stations than others, even though a gallon of regular gas is pretty much fungible.
