You're paying for others using very cutting edge and expensive drugs, procedures, equipment, EOL treatments, etc.
You're also paying for dramatically increased litigation risk faced by care providers, which is being passed onto you.
You're also paying for intermediaries at each step in the care chain who believe they are entitled to healthy margins.
If we want to make healthcare cheaper, we need to start by deciding who we want to take away from, whether it be EOL life extension (which tends to be way overdone), pharma profits, or taxpayer funds from whatever bracket you feel is right to take from.
