Now how to fix it?
• Eliminate government price fixing.
• Eliminate control restrictions of medical facilities by physicians.
• Eliminate CONs.
• Regulate insurance only insofar as ensuring promises made are delivered.
• Appeals for coverage heard by independent medical panels.
• Institute European-style med mal.
• Increase transparency to PI findings, Complication Rates, Procedure Numbers, Dr-Pt ratios, RN-Pt ratios, RN bedside time.

Ummmm what? The shite ain't free. Not anywhere. It's a mandatory medical savings program, so that I'm not on the hook for every hard smoking, hard drinking, hard leg sumbitch in society.
The cost shifting ain't working!

What percentage of your check is going to healthcare premiums?

You talking health care or insurance?

Read the post again. They lay it out. You use your savings for MediShield, which is their catastrophic insurance, or you can self-insure using the same funds. Between your medical savings and your premiums, I bet you're pretty close to 20% if your gross.

Publically funded research results are in the public domain, like government employee work product.
Research papers are not copywritable, and published methods are not patentable.
Specific production processes are patentable, but not the simple existence of a product. (e.g. genes or other genetic or protein sequences)

How does this address the OP question?

We need to end government restrictions on MD training slots

If you want to become quickly frustrated, next time you interface with the medical/industrial complex, ask them "Oh, BTW, how much does this thing that I'm about to get cost?". The very likely answer will be: "Oh, your co-pay is $30". "That's not what I'm asking. What is the actual price of this service?" They will stare at you blankly and you will realize they aren't acting...NOBODY frickING KNOWS.
I was recently in that situation. I asked the doctor what a procedure would cost. I explained I had a high deductible and needed to know. He asked me which insurance company and he said this is usually $500-$600. He was right.

Free market care, not insurance.
Insurance should only be needed for very serious things.
I shouldn't need insurance for a broken finger.

Some good answers. Anyone who doesn’t understand much about our healthcare system or the reasons why we spend so much on healthcare, only needs to understand this graph…

We all can agree the ACA was a mess.
The ACA started as a Heritage Foundation proposal. It is a product of conservative think tanks.

Truth in billing would be a good start. The frickery with the wide variance in the cost of procedures/care is a problem. There is no standard.
If there was some way to administer healthcare without the 15-20% cost added due to insurance companies taking their cut that, that would help.
Utility companies are regulated to keep costs affordable for consumers, maybe each state should have some type of regulatory board for essential medical procedures and services?
