If we could just get the lawyers and accountants out of the medical field.
Just get 3rd parties out of the payment and decisions all together. IMO, people don't pay for anything themselves and some people think they should pay $100 a month for $300 a month in medical costs. Cost control will always be difficult as long as people don't pay their own bills.
I recall Rush taking calls from a bunch of irate people once after a common anti-stomach acid drug was switched from prescription to over-the-counter. Lots of people were upset that they now had to pay for it. He kept asking them why they expected everyone else to pay for their drugs? Many of them just didn't get it.
