Also, people who have NO insurance and stick the doctors with unpaid bills also make the costs go up.

There are things Medicaid doesn't even reimburse the provider the cost of what is ordered. But, the same is true of Medicare and private insurances companies. What those things are varies from one company to the next.

For example, one private health insurance company only reimburses the provider $115 for an office visit. Even if that patient needs more than $115 dollars worth of testing.
