Because the govt doesn't regulate it allowing hospitals and drug manufacturers to charge what they want. Add to that the insurance lobby also tries to keep the costs high, to force people to pay for insurance at ridiculous prices. Meanwhile the insurance companies only pay a small fraction of what hospitals or drug manufacturers charge yet the victim pays the deductible on the full price..

I call them victims because people in the US are being defrauded when it comes to the medical and insurance industries.
