Substantive due process analysis of price and rate regulation is fairly straightforward. Price regulation is presumed to be constitutional, and "‘The *787burden of proving* otherwise ‘rests on the party asserting the violation . . . [Citation.] It ‘is not easily met. For the last half-century, courts have upheld challenged governmental acts unless no reasonably conceivable set of facts could establish a rational relationship between the regulation and the government’s legitimate ends.’ [Citation.] ‘It is enough that there is an evil at hand for correction, and that it might be thought that the particular . . . measure was a rational way to correct it.’ ” (20th Century Ins. Co. v. Garamendi (1994) 8 Cal.4th 216, 292 [32 Cal.Rptr.2d 807, 878 P.2d 566], italics added (20th Century Ins. Co.).)
