Over the years there have been so many good plans to solve the healthcare problem. Maybe someone needs to implement them.

There are so many things that can be done to improve our healthcare system and do not cost money or are relatively inexpensive. I believe that the first would be to stop the "murder" that occurs in almost all, if not all, hospitals in this country.
From The Alantic - "After the needless death of his father, the author, a business executive, began a personal exploration of a health-care industry that for years has delivered poor service and irregular quality at astonishingly high cost. It is a system, he argues, that is not worth preserving in anything like its current form. And the health-care reform now being contemplated will not fix it. Here’s a radical solution to an agonizing problem."

Sounds crazy, but one way to arrest the spiraling cost of health care would be to figure out what treatments actually work.
