My question, assuming those stats to be correct, is what is preventing competition among 15 companies from driving profits down? Geographical monopolies, perhaps? Some other factor?

I don’t know on my end. I think it’s all state regulated like health insurance and state laws apply. Things get complicated with state health insurance regulations and the idea of going national is questionable because doctor and hospital costs vary be region.
