>The key point made there was that it wasn’t even health insurance companies that were the issue, which is what many people assume. Rather it’s the hospitals. It takes one to now one. Health Insurance tells the hospital what they will pay for servicing their "client". Plus the Insurance Company will tell their Client "we will not pay for your life saving treatment" if they determine it is too expensive. I will not speak to the rates they charge for malpractice insurance. There is a reason health care is too expensive. Plus I am sure the bonus an Insurance Company CEO gets dwarfs the total of all bonuses people in the non-profit hospital gets.
