The costs are high. So what do we do about it?

You won't like my answer.

1) Face the fact that the uninsured are currently being treated at the expense
of the rest of society in the US, at very expensive hospital emergency rooms.

2) Reinvigorate the Public Health services gutted by the present and previous D
and R adminsitrations kow-towing to the medical lobbies

-or-

3) Formalize the de-facto public funding of health care services and institute
strict cost controls.
