Start unwinding...1st repeal Obamacare (helps make the Medicaid population smaller due to the O-Care Medicaid expansion)...fix the phony pricing...if doctors/hospitals are braking even or making money at Medicare/aid reimbursement prices (15-30% of price charged) then the general public gets those prices also. If not making any money at those rates, then Medicare/aid must increase their reimbursement rates as to prevent private payers from subsidizing Medicare/aid. Encourage employers to stop buying insurance for their employees, just give them the cash (averages $10K-$15K per employee per year) that must go into an HSA for purchasing insurance or paying cash for medical care (encourages competition on price & quality). With no O-care mandates employees and the self-employed would have many more choices of plans at much lower rates. Pre-existing conditions people seeking insurance would go back into high-risk pools by themselves with possible state subsidies if your state is into that sort of socialism. I am sure there many other free markets solutions that some smart people could come up with, but basically, less govt. influence, and more competition (like in Lasik, gastric surgery and plastic surgery, etc. where prices have come down dramatically).
