ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct 28, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Many more people blame the insurance industry for rising health care costs than blame anyone else. When asked who is most to blame, 41% of adults blame insurance companies compared to far fewer who blame the pharmaceutical companies (16%), the government (16%), hospitals (6%), or physicians (4%).
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll(R), a new nationwide survey of 2,119 U.S. adults surveyed online between October 16 and 20, 2008 by Harris Interactive(R).

Whom do you plan for the cost rise? The insurance company, government, the health care providers or the pharmaceutical companies. Please share your view and also for your reason for thinking so.



     
I think that all the factors contribute together to the rise in healthcare costs. The expenses towards medical treatments have increased many folds over the years, which have increased the insurance companies' expenses towards the claim payments, which in turn have given rise to the premium rate. This is a vicious cycle where each factor is affecting the other.
