Is that the main driver or is it innovation? Infant mortality rate has been declining for decades and we spend an aweful lot saving premies. Stop innovation and costs will soon drop exponentially.
Should Obama stop this?

Case in point, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

There have been a lot of really fast cars. You can go pretty damn fast for less than 100k, but to push the envelope and go faster than anyone else it costs 2.7mil, and I think I remember on Top Gear (BBC) they said the company was losing money selling it for that much!
Innovation costs a lot up front. But for any of us who are alive today because of a procedure that didn't exist 5-10 years earlier (myself included) it seems worth it. And for those of us who have lost someone to something that might be cured in 5-10 years (myself included) stopping innovation is not an option.

Obamacare will bureaucratize the system and eliminate this wasteful sort of expense, then it will gradually begin to find more and more people "useless eaters" not worth the expense, just like Obama has trashed space innovation and exploration, and given the green light to offshore competitors.
Fifty years from now, we'll be going to China for "cutting edge" medical care, as well as for tourist flights to the moon. The Chinese have incredible manpower resources, and are accumulating surplus profits from selling human parts on the black markets all around the world.
Historically, the Chinese bureaucracy shut down the greatest merchant fleet in the world about a thousand years ago so their elites wouldn't have to suffer the embarassement of the emerging Novou Riche upstarts. Today, our own elites who manage our system, mostly leeches sucking on the Rockefeller/Morgan empires somehow and seeking status on the NWO regime, are trying to "professionalize" our society based on their current cash cow schema of significance, with a predictable similar result.
A few hundred years later, the shipless Chinese were victimized by British gunboat diplomacy enforcing their opium racket, powerless to compete or repulse the foreign manipulations.
It won't take six hundred years this time, for the Rockefeller/Morgan/British Monarchy/EuroBanker elites to be looking down the barrels of superior technology while accepting Chinese mobster demands.
Backwhen I worked at Anthem, they sent out a series of company-wide emails discussing the 7 reasons for rising costs. It's been a while, but aging was #1, innovation #3 or 4. This was back in the days of Clinton.

Laugh it up Trout....
Natural cures work, and western medicine is a racket and total failure.
I took a sodium naproxen the other day and my headache went away. What do you have to say about that?
The media has you subliminley programmed to believe it goes away by taking these false western medicines. So strong was you brainwashing that your headache went away.
Did I do it right Silencer?

Yes it goes away.
But does it solve the root cause of the headache? No.
You will get another headache in the future, so not a cure.

Is a gunshot would a disease or a sickness?
The only thing western medicine is good at is saving lives in the event of an emergency. Gunshot wounds, car accidents, ect...
It is a failure in almost every other area.
Cancer? Uh... no
AIDS? Wait... oh no
The Flu? "Hey I got a flu shot this year, so why did I get the flu?"
Alzheimers Disease? Awe crap...
I could keep going, but their wouldn't be much of a point.
Has non-western (is that even a word?) medicine cured cancer, AIDS, the flu, Alzheimers? no? Oh ok.
