In all reality there is no solution to healthcare cost in America. Insurance companies aren't making a mass amount of money from healthcare as cost are sky rocketing. Plus, how can you tell a doctor that went to school for so many years they can only charge so much. You can't band all malpractice suits, especially if you're asking a doctor to cut his prices when his only recourse is to see more patients per day to make up for it. If you do, then you'll lose good doctors in the future as college students will pick law instead of med school to make good money (or become politicians). Seeing ball players making millions per year and doctors not, just doesn't make scense. I understand the entertainment part of it, but people don't sue a team or a player if they lose, but yet they'll sue a doctor for missing something in your exam. Too many Americans go to the doctor because they have a cold or the flu, which waste insurance money. Maybe the companies need to stop paying for doctors visits and only for major medical and that will keep people from going to their doctor for everything (and yes I understand the cost is lower if something is found out sooner to treat). Or just provide major medical and allow one wellness check a year and if you need to go to the doctor outside of that, you pay for it. Other than that, there really is no solution! (And no government backed plans for you socialists. I'm sick of paying taxes just for the government to hand out to whomever says, "This happened to poor me...," as I'm sure we all are.)
