I haven’t put a lot of thought into how to fix healthcare.

To tell the truth.

I just think we need to fix it, not break it again.

I’m not a healthcare expert. Maybe some other posters will post on their ideas.

Thanks in advance.

There is no "mess" in healthcare. the cost of care and labyrinthine reimbursement systems are messy. The whole bottom line issue should be cost, and cost was not a problem until Medicare was passed. That is when healthcare inflation took off, and it hasn't stopped since.

The only rational basic solution, as cited by others above, is insurance limited to no frills catastrophic coverage, pay as you go for routine belly aches and colds, and private charity as it is moved to provide for the least of these.
