All of the above is a problem for a various number of reasons.
How are doctors not transparent about costs? I can and do tell a patient exactly how much I charge for an office visit, procedure, etc. If a hospital is involved, I then tell them it's anybody's guess about what the rest will cost due to copays, coinsurances, and the shell game that the hospitals and insurance companies play about how much something actually costs.

I'm sure the billion dollar cottage industry of drug companies and other medical related businesses flying doctors off for vacations at Turks & Caicos and giving in-kind benefits to top prescribers of certain drugs has absolutely no perverse effects on healthcare delivery or the market at large.
Drug companies and medical manufacturers just happen to love throwing money away.

I'd say doctors are not the main issue with healthcare costs, but they aren't without issues in that space.
