It's also because of a lot of BS regulations that effectively make it impossible to open up competition. There'd be a lot of hospitals who would be opening up down the street offering lower prices if it was legal to let people without 10 years of schooling give medicines that haven't gone through 20 years of FDA paperwork, but it's not.

Safety and making sure hospitals are up to standards is good, but the American regulatory system is a total mess

It’s becoming even more of an issue since government agencies like the FDA get their money from people applying for licenses. So the people regulating big companies are being paid by big companies.
