I'm not sure I care for this topic on HN, but I believe one of the biggest problems in healthcare is the 'collaboration' among the hospitals and insurance companies on billing through the National Uniform Billing Committee[0], which ultimately results in people not knowing how much stuff costs (i.e. how much is an MRI). Without this knowledge, people can't make proper decisions because it's completely opaque.
