There are about 100 reasons, there is no
one reason.
People with health insurance subsidize those who don't have insurance because hospitals have to shift the cost of unpaid emergency room bills to us. Emergency medicine is the most expensive form of care. The average person's medical insurance premiums are $900/yr higher because of this.
Malpractice insurance and lawsuits are another reason, that's a system that needs to be reformed also.
Everybody is going to have to give up something in order for us to get the system fixed. (Doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, trial attorneys, and even us, the consumers of health care)
