The reason visits to the doctor cost so much is all the mandates forced on insurance companies by pressure groups that lobby legislators, the enormous amount of paperwork docs have to mess with, all the people who don’t pay that you pay for when you do, and the cost of malpractice insurance.
The only thing that can save US health care is a complete free market in health care. Government is ruining it.
I just hope when they ask the question, "Do you keep guns in the house?" as per government mandate, they will follow up with, "Were well stocked in sporting goods, between hardware and automotive."
