I think the problem is more complicated than that. One of the issues
that I see is that health care providers (mostly doctors) have no
incentive to control costs, quite the opposite in fact. The more
tests and diagnostic procedures that they order, the more they get
paid. It's almost like being able to write your own paycheck.
Patients have no reason to complain about costs as long as their
insurance or medicare is picking up the tab, and doctors who have
learned how to work the system, and there are consultants to help, are
doing quite well.
