The reason why most healthcare providers are able to charge different groups of purchasers’ different prices for the same product is because it is a type of price discrimination. It portrays some positive aspects of price discrimination.

Sam’s Club and Costco offers the ability to purchase in bulk which is essentially a good representation of second degree price discrimination.…
