Well, they don't have to, because it simply doesn't cost $10M there. My understanding is that the United States medical system foremost goal is to generate profit (for shareholders?), and I think that artifically inflates the prices. Many people share the oppinion that there's no need for the medical system to make profit -- not incuring loss is enough for it being sustainable.
