I disagree.
This is not capitalism but government meddling and third party payer inflating prices.
Sure, the USA is one of the best medical care systems in the world (and it's definitely better quality than any public service you will find in Europe) but it doesn't cover cheaper services.
Under an unregulated market, with pure capitalism, you would see cheaper, smaller hospitals pay-as-you-go or via cheap insurances.
