Is US healthcare priced high because the underlying costs of procuring/manufacturing drugs and surgical equipment is high or because healthcare firms can simply ask for more money due to few regulations?

New to this topic but just want to understand the core of the issue. I am fairly confident it is one of the two options in my questions, especially when we exclude the role of insurance companies. So, which is it?
