it's obvious by looking at this chart, we are spending way too much on healthcare. the way to lower the price of anything is by promoting competition.  do away with the monopolies on healthcare, like ama, and let each state have full control over healthcare. let the states compete for low prices, and people will travel to the cheapest states to have treatment.  let there be clinics that can operate with no insurance as long as patience sign consent forms.  have a national registry for people to leave comments about treatment, just like a yelp for healthcare providers.  sell more drugs over the counter, with less regulation, and end the stupid drug war. it's illegal drugs killing people, not the pills that are standardized.  promote competition between drug makers to sell cheap drugs like insulin. do away with this stupid notion of illegal drugs that only increase the cost of drugs.  let people take personal responsibility for their own heath decisions and what the put into their bodies. do all of this, and you will lower the cost of healthcare.
