Economy How do we lower medical costs? Any ideas?

It boils down to one simple question that definitely doesn't have a simple answer. How do we institute universal healthcare that doesn't actually suck.

It can suck and be ok. I got off of one private plan to another because of the soaring costs (which sucks), it’s taking my family 3 months and counting to see our primary physician (which sucks).

Sucky healthcare already exists.

America gets taxed more for Medicare than citizens of countries like Australia and Canada yet receive nothing in return. America is a socialist country without the benefits. But reading this thread they seem to take pride in it.

This is due to various factors and doesn’t have to be this way. It covers a very expensive block of people.

Med education most likely should be for free. Very good students might get also stipends...
This will provide a lot of interestents and then ...you will have free hands in unis and colleges etc easily to sort out and drop out not enough good for said programm. Easy peasy. So outcome will be very high dropouts % and at least more sorted " material " will get paper.

Do you know who will pay off your medical student loans?
The military.
