So far, we haven't had much of a change in health care reform; just some tweaking of the health insurance business. This IMO, is a good thing...as far s it goes, but there are feasible ways of lowering health care costs: allowing the government to bargain on drug prices, making sure that there are enough doctors in less-profitable locations ( setting up s "Med Corps", where the Feds would pay medical school tuitions for qualified pre-meds in exchange for a period of assignment
in MD-deprived areas), providing software for uniform computerized record-keeping, and lots more.
