Yeah the actual health care providers get the screwjob on a regular basis. Meanwhile there's some insurance fatcat going door to door doing sales to employers.
I shit you not I once watched an insurance middleman asshole come into the office and be like "the problem with health care costs is definitely not the insurance companies". Like yeah, it's totally not the fact that you have a job going around to the offices in the area accomplishing nothing, Mr. Combover, it's totally the health care workers that actually provide service that are the problem.

They like to push the blame on:
A few major issues that immediately spring to mind: corporate/wealthy individual lobbiests, insurance corporations buying up entire practice providers/insurance-owned pharmacies, such as CVS.
