Who determines this 'reasonable price' if not the ultimately democratic system of supply-and-demand? You're arguing for some kind of centralized authority to control said price levels -- which effectively cartelizes the market -- which is exactly how we got where we are today. I agree it sounds nice, even charitable, on the surface. But it has never worked. Let the market decide, and let private, voluntary charity fill the gaps where needed.
