I've been in healthcare for 20 years.
It's expensive because the primary payor source is a government entity: Medicare.
Because of this, market forces are not to be found.

Then how do you explain the fact that the US spends more per capita than any country on earth in healthcare? Even countries with single payer systems pay less for their care than we do. So I'm not buying the argument that more market forces will always lead to less expensive healthcare.
