  1. If you want better health care at lower cost, abolish all the federal medical-care programs. It would have to be phased out, over time, with so many people already depending on it, but government bureaucrats, in association with Big Medicine, are not the best arbiters of what's covered and at what price point. That doesn't mean I don't believe in a strong charitable component being a superb tradition to uphold, but it needs to operate at the community level, with civic pride in the quality of health care in your community and how you try never to turn anyone away, within the limits of the community hospital's available resources. Let each town of whatever size do its best to have the best hospitals and health services. Something that I don't see outside of Medicare/Medicaid is much in the way of general care. Annual checkups, with standard blood work. Preventive care. Actual health care, rather than sickness care. That's probably what the government should do if it feels it must do something. An inexpensive wellness plan that anyone can use, but doesn't promise any high-dollar procedures.
