I agree less government interference is the part of the answer along with tort reform. Defensive medicine adds quite a burden to the system.

Medicare and Medicaid don't pay their share they pay less than half and call it their share and force the provider to swallow the rest. That's why prices are so high for us left in the "non-govermental" part of the healthcare market. Cost shifting.
