Aaron Carroll did a Youtube Series back in 2014 on the topic, even if you don't want to watch the videos there's a lot of good links in the description of each one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN-MkRcOJjY&list=PLkfBg8ML-gIngk82SUbTp6Og_KkYfJ6oF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN-MkRcOJjY&list=PLkfBg8ML-g... From what I remember: Insurance is one reason, Hospitals not engaging in collective bargaining (e.g. vs. NHS in England which makes decisions about what to spend money on and makes companies bid on contracts for the whole country), wasteful premium care that adds little to patient outcomes (e.g. vs Singapore which has a privatised tiered healthcare system but heavily regulates healthcare so this doesn't happen), and simply paying Doctors far more money.
