You are both highlighting one of the main reasons healthcare is so expensive. Americans think the newest and most expensive is the best and demand that. There are many low tech, and low costs tests and procedures out there, but patients want the newest and highest tech, which costs more. Docs also push for the newest and highest tech because of defensive medicine. They know that if they go the low tech route and miss something, related to the symptoms at the time of the procedure or not, they will be sued.
