Looks like I was right, basically what the video is saying.
From the youtube video:
"when one manufacturer puts a (pill) price up to a new high level, everyone else just says "oh look, he um got away with it", and lift their prices up to that level too" - Elisabeth Rosenthal
"prices will rise to whatever level the markets will bare" - Elisabeth Rosenthal
"while not a free market, its market driven enough to push up prices, and thus the prices we all end up paying"
numbers:
US spends more than 20% of its GMP on health care (alot of countries with free health care for all its citizens do it for 9-10%), and the US usually has worse results to show for it (than nations that spend those 9-10%).
An american sickness, a book that talks about the issues of american health care, and why its so ineffecient compaired to the rest of the world.
