I think it's been clearly stated in this thread more regulation, from costs, legal, etc would help drive the cost down.
However, people and most right wingers fail to understand this is an increase in Gov size either way.
The OBGYN charges what they do because of malpractice insurance. The hospital charging you $30 for an icepack, has nothing to do with malpractice insurance. The costs are also in the goods being passed down to the consumer so the hospital, insurance, doctor, and everyone else can take a part of the pie.
