It is more likely the insurance groups and lawsuit happy public that drive
costs up. Single payer won't address that. Look at any doctor you visit.
There is the doctor, perhaps a couple helpers or a nurse, and a large group
of office people filling out the paperwork for the insurance company that
the insurance groups don't trust and ask for more information. All that
overhead comes at a steep price.
 
One of my doctors made it clear years ago, a visit should be 1/4 cost of
what it is now.
