Hey, I agree. I think one place to start would be some kind of reform of billing practices that discourages providers from providing care that is probably unnecessary, but which allows them to bill tens of thousands of dollars to patient insurance companies--angioplasty for chronic angina being just one egregious example, which
alone costs enough money that
eliminating the practice could pay for health insurance for every uninsured child in America.
