My wife is in the medical field and has dealt with insurance companies a lot in the past. She, like most in the medical, field can tell you that the insurance companies and lawyers are the reason for a large part of the cost for medical costs. The insurance companies negotiate a low cost that they will pay but will sue if those prices are given to anyone else.
