Healthcare

How did healthcare in America balloon beyond what regular folks are willing or able to pay?

Is it because of insurance and government involvement?

Usually, businesses have to adjust prices according to what customers are willing to pay. If an airline is going to charge $2000.00 for a flight from NY to Dallas, they are going to go out of business. Why is it not the same with healthcare?

The obvious answer is going to be, "you cannot put a price on health" but, shouldn't competition take care of pricing?
