The issue goes much deeper than just the HC industry overcharging, it is the insurance companies and the trial lawyers fault as much as the "non-profits".

If you end up in the hospital the Doctors run 5000 tests on you because if they get sued they can say they ran them all. This would be the first thing a trial lawyer went after them about. These hospitals are getting sued 100 times a day by ambulance chaser lawyers

The hospitals charge you 100 dollars for an asprin because they know the insurance company will only reimburse them a penny. If they charged you a penny, the insurance company would give them nothing.

Then there the liability insurance doctors have to pay, the cost has chased many good doctors out of my State.

Then there all the people with no insurnace who sow up at the Emergency room for service, the hospitals do not turn them away they treat them and we pay for it.

It goes on and on and on.

Time magazine forgot to mention all that stuff.....conveniently to support Obamacare.
