The 15,000 kidneys that are transplanted in the United States each year are received free from organ donors. Despite this, because of hospital fees, the average price of a kidney transplant is $250,000. As a result, only rich people or people with very good health insurance can afford the transplants. The government should put a ceiling of $100,000 on the price of kidney transplants. That way the middle-income people will be able to afford them, the demand for kidney transplants will increase and more kidney transplants will take place. Do you agree with the advocate's reasoning? Who gains (how much) and who loses (how much) from the price ceiling? Carefully Explain in terms of demand-and-supply analysis (a graph would help).
