There are a lot of procedures that could be standardized (not all but a majority imo) Currently we have no idea how the pricing works or why.

It seems to work on the greed factor, Administrators who are Not Doctors but looking to make major money . For example they buy 500 aspirins that cost them $5.00 for the entire lot and then if patients need them charge as much as $12.00 each. That is only one minor example !

I was charged 15 for antacid while I was stuck in a hospital bed for three days. The total bill for 3 days was just over $20,000, no surgery, just IV bags of saline and a morphine drip. Thank God I had insurance through my employer. It still cost me $5000.
Hell, I wasn't even allowed to eat while laid up and had to be on a liquid diet for a month after I was discharged. And that cost didn't even include the hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan I had to get a month later.

Agreed,,,, I do believe that medical research is costly. Though Admins would be more affected IMHO. Because a doctor could leave a hospital and open a small practice of their own. Admins don't have the same option.
