Heath care has gotten vastly better over time. Look at 5 year cancer survival rates for example. However, this improvement takes a lot of effort and really does mean higher prices.

So, all you are proposing is rationing care aka if people can't get care then cost is not a problem.

I would suggest a public option that excluded any patented medication or extensive intervention could be really cheap if you also removed most paper work and the ability to sue. But, nobody would accept a significantly lower standard of care.
