1) Make a single risk pool is the first step. Right now a big problem is that the Indy market got dumped with lots of high risk people, and its a relatively small market. That was a problem that should have been foreseen, and that is what I fault Obama and the Dems in general for. It was a fatal error. 2) Insurance should also be decoupled from employment. It should have nothing to do with the company you work for. 3) As part of 2), the tax treatment for insurance premiums should then be identical for everyone. 4) Start a major, Government led project (I know you will hate that!) to develop a few key pieces of technology, to absolutely hammer cost. a) An evolving AI diagnostic system to basically replace most Doctors, b) low cost high resolution full body imaging, c) fully autonomous robotic surgery, d) pursue CRISPR technology with a vengeance, e) develop non-intrusive 3D sensing of nerve signals, and f) develop external to the body, surgical techniques.
