Providers get a decent slice, specially big hospitals and specialists. Doctor pay is really high in the US and its very regulated. Its expensive to be a doctor (long schooling, expensive mal praxis insurance), license ceilings, state-licensing and effective banning of doctor importation. Doctors get a decent share of the cost (1/10 i read somewhere), buts its still not the bulk. Nevertheless, just allowing doctors to come in and have unlimited licensing would hit costs a lot.
