It is just not that easy.
If it was that easy America would spend less on health care then Canada - but in fact their costs are escalating like ours, are higher then ours, and in fact are amongst the highest in the developed world.

My mom has been part of the LPN union most of her life (since she was 18) and an active participant in the last negotiations so I know the screw job they have gotten because their union wasnt as militant as the RN's. And I see the "highly trained" RN's sitting at the desks of small town hospitals while its the LPNs that do most of the manual labour.
I am not saying it would be that easy and I dont have every answer because I dont work in the medical field but I know if controllable costs (people) continue to escalate like they have in the last 4 years then our system will be in serious trouble.
