That would be significant and frankly unprecedented government interference in a private business sector: excepting a change of regime to either extreme of the political spectrum it's never going to happen.

The current govt interferes in every aspect of our lives already.

All government interferes with the lives of its citizens to some extent. The operation of the free market, not so much.

Price regulation in particular is something liberal democracies are extremely uncomfortable with.
