Isn't the overly-litigious nature of the U.S.A also why costs are so high?
The malpractice insurance that docs and hospitals need to carry in order to defend themselves should they be sued is passed onto consumers in the form of higher medical costs.
Or at least that's how someone once explained it to me. Is that not also a contributing factor?
