I suspect that some of the clear difference in costs among Texas cities (with major differences in costs among some that are just short distances apart from each other, and similar on many demographic and economic factors) may reflect, more then anything else, differences in the WAY that the practice of medicine has developed in each. Cities in which in which fee for services has really come to dominate, in which the practice of 'medicine' has come to be somewhat secondary to the 'business of medicine', seem to be the ones that have experienced the largest increases in costs to patients.
