Although the comment about wanting a new Lamborghini was partially in jest it was also partially not. There's no doubt dickering and bargaining was going on as in the latest video the PP doctor starts negotiations by asking for an opening offer.She doesn't necessarily need to know the costs -- she said it had been "years" since discussing such things. And your impression she was holding out negotiating to avoid lowballing doesn't hold up to her stated position that she didn't know what the costs would be. She was even asking what they normally pay because she clearly didn't know what the going rate is. And after she made up a number anyway, it was CMP trying to raise the amount, not her.That's ridiculous for 2 reasons. One being that she should know what the cost of storage and transportation is, especially going into a business meeting. And she should have said that cost and told them to give nothing over that.As she said in the video ... costs to cover their expenses. Also, the ones trying to make it for profit were CMP. The doctor, who said she hadn't discussed money in years, did not know offhand what the cost is. When she threw out a figure she made off the top of her head, it was CMP who tried to increase the price so they could show Planned Parenthood was profiting.I guess that's why they have been recorded negotiating a deal
2. As I pointed out earlier she didn't want to begin NEGOTIATING the "cost" and was clearly worrying about selling herself short. She implied that the cost would for transportation, shipping, etc...just like a good drug dealer carefully choosing their words not to implicate themselves
Face it, there's nothing there. at $75-$100, they're covering their expenses. Based on those [highly edited] videos, I'll be surprised if anything even comes of this.
No one does that unless they are haggling over a deal.
Not that there's any question about it, but you don't make a comment like that when you're talking expenses only.
