Yes it is, there are several factors jacking up the price in the US. There are some good videos on it on Youtube. I was always wondering why people think that it is a free market there. In Europe there are several countries that let you use private and public health insurance (even at the same time) and you can go to any healthcare provider and still get a reasonable price. In my country the private provider "industry" is booming and most lab work can be done in a private manner, usually for a very reasonable price. Most of this is accessible in a week ahead booking time.
