Insurance is a part of the problem. The rates they pay are significantly less than the list price but that alone will not solve the problem.
The govt regulations the healthcare industry has to comply with is truly amazing.

The main problem is that people don't demand a verifiable itemized bill for health care expenses. They don't bother because if they have insurance they don't have to mess with it.
If they had to pay the first $5000, they would demand itemized bills that weren't just based on the fraudulent DRGs the government uses, which were never intended to be used for billing purposes.

EVERYTHING is based on what Medicare pays for.....that’s why the difference is so huge in what the insurance will pay and what the cost really is.
