The fight over who is to be blamed for the rising health-care costs is now escalating, as officials and groups look to pin the problem on each other and say that none of the health-care legislations under consideration have managed to do enough to solve it.

In 2009, US spending on healthcare hit a record figure of $2.5 Trillion, as have been shared by Federal estimate. Over the coming 10 years, it is expected to climb to $4.5 Trillion.

While insurers’ stresses that they must pass on ever-higher bills from hospitals and doctors, hospitals are stressing that they are struggling with more and more uninsured patients, demands from doctors for higher salaries and underpayments from Medicare and Medicaid.

The doctors, on the other hand, say that they are "strong-armed" by insurance monopolies and hampered by medical malpractice costs.

In a rush to place the blame, hardly any solutions are coming to the forefront.

"It's always someone else's fault. There is not an incentive for these people to cooperate because the game they are all playing is getting a bigger piece of the pie", said Robert Laszewski, President of health-care consulting firm Health Policy & Strategy Associates.
