It's because this profession is regulated by the government. So the prices skyrocket. This happens with any thing regulated by the government. A liquor license in CA can run up to $300,000 dollars. Health insurance is insanely expensive. The more automobile regulation, the more the price goes up.

Regulation is a double edge sword.

They make a thing safer but then the increased cost excludes a lot of people from using the thing until typically only the rich are able to enjoy a thing.

I wish the government would regulate my health insurance a lot harder.
You could always just give your money to the insurance company. I'm sure they would appreciate it.
