Yeah, it's definitely not the insurance companies that extort everyone for outrageous fees under threat of death thus creating most profitable industry in the world, yet producing nothing of value whatsoever who are the problem, it's all the doctors fault.

This. Insurance companies want medical procedures to cost more so that they can charge higher fees and punish those who don’t choose to participate in their industry.
Exactly, it's the same for car insurance where (industry-wide) high repair costs mean the insurance industry has more turnover from which to extract a percentage profit margin. Exactly the same forces apply for medical insurance.
