How about repeal Obamacare...and just leave it at that?
If I was at all a fascist there is one thing I’d like to see the government do: sever the connection between health insurance and employer. i.e. make it like car insurance. The user is the purchaser. Employers can’t offer it as part of your benefits package.
About half the states already have tort reform and in none of them is their any evidence that it has reduced healthcare insurance premiums. Malpractice insurance premiums, yes.
I'm opposed to the removal of state line barriers for two reasons. The first is on constitutional grounds; registering insurance companies is a state issue and for the federal government to step in would be a violation of the 10th Amendment. Second, it would do nothing to lower rates. There is little if any incentive for me to buy insurance from a company not already doing business in my state, and even less incentive for them to sell a policy to me.

I have absolutely fantastic insurance through my employer as part of my compensation package. What you want to do is cut my income. Why should I be happy with that?
