The problem is insurance that pays for every doctor visit and lab procedure. It really isn't insurance, which is supposed to be a pooling of interests to safeguard against catastrophic loss. There's no incentive for people to consider whether a particular procedure is necessary or to shop around for a better price. IMO a lot of our health care cost problems would be eliminated simply by moving everyone to a relatively high deductible plan.
