The way to attack the problem economically would have involved giving everyone in the USA an HSA that was funded to allow them to directly consume healthcare services with price exposure. It would naturally force competition on price.

The ACA that we got instead cemented the separation of people from the price of their service and costs have ballooned even more than that were previously.

The economic approach is the only real way to fix things long term.
