ah yes, another market where the private equity scum have realised that "the market is inefficient" and that the existing businesses aren't "extracting maximum consumer surplus"

fortunately the UK doesn't have this problem for people as the state run healthcare system has set the price floor at zero

it hasn't stopped the private equity scum completely though, instead they have bought up most of the country's formerly independent vets

> From only 10% in 2013, almost 60% of veterinary practices are now owned by large companies

they then immediately "optimise the demand curve", doubling/tripling their prices, meaning there are now people that can no longer afford to treat their pets
