Something I've tossed about for a while now but would really like constructive feedback on: barring insurance companies from dealing with medical personnel/facilities.

Around 25% of medical costs come from the brigade of employees a doctor needs to keep around just to handle dealing with the various insurance companies and each one's particular way of doing things.

Removing this avenue does two things:

-it lowers costs by allowing the medical professional/establishment to cut staff

-eventually market forces would push insurance companies to streamline their services
