>>Partly for the same reasons that the cost of college education is inflating similarly. Is inflation in the cost of education the fault of insurance?<<

do you think this *proves* it isn't?

>>Perhaps you mean insurance providers, not health care providers?? How has the auto insurance system dealt with this issue, and what might health care insurance learn from that?<<

i don't know too many people happy with auto insurance - and medical expenses are much greater than auto expenses, especially in the elderly.

>>The fundamental problems in health cost and health insurance have zero to do with single payer or multiple payers, yet plenty of people run around yapping as though they do. No wonder nothing ever gets solved.<<

the fundamental problem is the same as in banking - the fundamental greed of the people involved in the system.

this greed applies to all parties so we are basically screwed any way we go - that's why no progress is made.
