The problem with medical pricing seems to be the same as pricing for students and pricing for housing. When people can borrow the money or have it payed by insurance, the prices skyrocket to match the available funds. It completely screws anyone not 'in the game'. Luckily medical costs are generally reasonable here in Australia, but we still see crazily inflated housing prices due to residential property being treated like a stock. Huge tax incentives are given to those 'investing' in property while 'buy to live' buyers like families get screwed. Also, having your employer involved AT ALL with your medical insurance/bills is fucking insane.
