The most important thing the US needs to do to its healthcare system, is cut costs by 1/3 to match the top end of what the other wealthiest developed nations are spending. That will require hammering downward what doctors (for one example) are earning. No more radiologists making $650k per year. The side conflict to that, is you have to simultaneously make it a lot cheaper to become a doctor, otherwise you generate a shortgage of doctors that gets worse by the year. As the Federal and State governments take on ever larger responsibility in the US healthcare system, I'll be curious to see how this problem is dealt with. I suspect at first they'll simply avoid the conflict entirely, and try to keep paying healthcare workers what they're presently earning. However, you can't have universal healthcare in the US in any manner at the current expense levels, it's financially impossible. Something will have to give, and it ultimately will have to be the costs in the system.
