Much how identical prescription drugs can be sourced for exponentially less in Canada or Mexico, I suspect identical health car services in the USA are substantially more expensive.

A doctor told me his insurance cost him about $1,400 a year. This was around 1988 (in Aus).
To put that into perspective at the same time it cost about $280 a year for a rating one driver to fully insure a car.
I wont even guess what they are now.
The US insurance costs would have to be on a completely different level.
