There is a very easy answer. Eliminate the health insurance companies. They do not improve healthcare and serve only to increase costs by extracting profit.
Luigi offers an easy answer
The profit motive does not belong in any industry of necessity.
The capitalists have metastasized into education, Healthcare, and bastardized any and all forms of food to maximize profit at the expense of their humanity.
They've brought us to our knees, and before the capitalists are done, death will be a mercy to most.
Education in the US was at its height when it received ample public funding.
In the future, it will be a privilege to die, at least the way this train currently going
They are a wholly unnecessary middleman extracting a rent where none is due. They slow down the speed of care and needlessly complicate a very simple system.
It should not exist. They're the landlords of medicine. Entirely pointless and nothing more than a detriment to the profession, service, and function of healthcare no matter if its picking up a z-pack for bronchitis or having a tumor removed. Healthcare insurance serves no purpose whatsoever.
A single, (truly) non profit insurer that has no ability to deny coverage and is fully funded by income tax could have an administrative purpose.
I'm not a specialist of the US healthcare problem but if we believe Marc Cuban, insurance is not the biggest cost problem.
