The medical industry is out of control. Whether it's the high cost of malpractice insurance and/or doctor charges the costs all get payed by us eventually.
As your post points out there seems to be no cost control other than what is dictated by the insurance companies. An industry without competition leads to much higher costs. What incentive do they have to charge reasonable prices for their services? IMHO this will lead to government provided healthcare soon.
