Pull in the reigns on big pharma, they're primarily responsible for the outstanding inflation of medical costs.
Other ways to lower healthcare costs:
* Increase med-school acceptance rates & fund more residency programs/additional slots to increase supply of MD's
* Subsidize med-school tuition so MD's don't graduate drowning in debt
* Allow PA's and NP's more authority in primary care and non-trauma emergent care situations without an attending physician having to sign for every order and discharge - some states are ahead of others here, we have a lot of NP's in GA ER's that work without an attending
Oh, and single payer healthcare would do wonders too. Administrative costs for hospitals and billing companies would drop dramatically not having to manage dozens of different insurance contracts just to get paid, would love to pass that savings onto patients.
