I hate the trivialization of this. The solution is not obvious. Paying more/longer requires more money. Where does that money come from?
At least in my areas of science (chemistry), most of this money comes from grants, which comes from the NIH, DOE, or NSF depending on the project. Ultimately it comes from taxpayers, and portioned out by Congress.
So the solution is either to get Congress to really care about this (ha!) or re-architecture funding of all of higher education.

Neither of these is simple.
