We are not getting a fair return on investment.

While the doctors and other healthcare workers deserve a better than average living standard some of the excesses are ridiculous.

Probably 80%+ are educated in publicly funded universities. One starting step would be to subsidise medical educations in return for 15 years work at publicly funded primary care clinics at reasonable wages. I am not talking downward spiral here like minimum wage but a decent upper middle class income wage scale with malpractice tort limits. The lawyers are a part of these high medical costs too -- we need to recognize that problem and overcome it.
