It is well laid out in this long article below which is titled
“How American Health Care Killed My Father”. Highly recommended for anyone who cares to understand the issues.

Simple solution: Require catastrophic insurance for everyone (subsidy for poor) and have users pay (edit-) cash for everything else. This will increase competition, increase quality of care, and reduce costs.

Equalizer: That article should be required reading by everyone participating in the debate, whether individually or as part of the government effort.

Absolutely excellent article and it laid everything out in clear, understandable terms and language.

His solution, while simple and apparently workable, would undoubtedly be assailed viciously by industry lobbyists, which means it would probably work.
