People (justifiably) blame insurance companies for the bullshit of the medical industry, but the entirety of the of it from provider facilities, to pharmacy, etc. is happy to enable it to nickel and dime for as much money as possible.
The price hikes of Medical services in the US functionally happen in a way similar to the cost of college education: Loaners and universities both benefit from rising cost of tuition, and enable each other to increase. Replace Loaners with Insurance, and universities with providers. The common denominator here is: For fucking profit.
