This may be a bit controversial but one possible MARKET-FOCUSED solution to driving down the costs of healthcare is to allow HMOs and insurance companies to partner with WORLD-CERTIFIED offshore hospital systems to deliver certain types of health services. The patients get to travel while getting medical care. Would force local US hospitals to compete and this might drive down prices.

There has to be LEGAL PROTECTIONS written in the law for this to fly though.
