Wrong. Healthcare costs are going up because there are so many people who either cannot or will not pay their medical bills. And as I explained before, it is a downward spiral with no end in sight.
Having big rich insurance companies has jack and shit to do with the price of healthcare, it has everything to do with the price of health insurance. Blanket social baseline coverage and government regulation of said coverage is the only way you are going to lasso this beast. Either that or the privatized insurance companies choose to operate at a loss in order to give coverage to the poor. So which will it be?
As for the rest of your post, you're right. If we were all perfect, non-sick, independently wealthy, angels, then yes, we would not need health insurance. You win.
