I have several suggestions.
1. Break the monopoly the AMA has on medical schools and certification process for doctors. Allow more foreign doctors to practice in the US if they pass a reasonable test and internship program.
2. Allow companies to use software programs to help diagnose diseases. Currently the AMA forbids that. Really good software would eliminate a lot of the unnecessary medical procedures doctors currently use in diagnosis.
3. Let experienced nurses set up clinics to treat people with minor illnesses and injuries without having a doctor around to increase costs.
4. Drastically reform medical malpractice insurance and the legal system so that if you sue and lose, you pay the fees and the doctor.
I would love to see intelligent discussion on how to reform medical care in this country. It is not happening.
