We already have extensive privatization. It's not helping here and in fact, there is no reason to believe that privatization is itself the "answer" to rising health care costs. What we do need is a complete rethink of how we split funding between the public and private sector, of how we can best deliver necessary medical care to those who need it. Moreover, we need to rethink what is truly "necessary". And all those are just for a start. Your "suggestion" is laughably simple-minded.
