Calling medical cost inflation "greed" is a big mistake. "Cost shifting" is more like it. Do you have any idea how much free medical care to the uninsured is handed out these days? None of these bills are fullly reimbursed by insurance either. They are inflated to provide a write-off at tax time. Small hospitals also have very little say over pricing by their vendors.
