Health care used to be affordable, and it wasn't that long ago.
Start by importing a million physicians (over say 10 years) and putting them on a track to citizenship if they work in a doc in a box for a certain number of years. Let those who can't afford insurance seek their non-emergency medical care there.
Keep importing more and more until the health care monopolies are killed dead.
Second, force all providers to state their prices in public and up front. Any provider not complying goes to jail.
I love ^.
Actually, most routine medical care is increasingly being performed by Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners who work under an MD's supervision.
Oh my! How did people go to the doctors before the government decided to run the healthcare in this country, I wonder....! That can't be possible. The government is the savior!!!

I would assume this was tongue-in-cheek except for some of the other proposals I've seen on these forums. Are you suggesting the government pay liability insurance for a million doctors? Sounds like a backhanded vote for single-payer!
What? You think you're entitled to rob someone else to give to them, and then call yourself their savior?
I think as a civilzed society, that I prefer not seeing people that are sick suffering and dying due to lack of health care. Reguardless of anyone's opinion like yours, people are not going to be denied services at an ER. Trust me, I pay for it every year on my property tax though the hospital district. Not only that, my increased insurance premiums are paying for it. A better managed system through something like ACA gets people paying in some money, and will take the burden off my paid for insurance and off my hospital district tax.
