The solution lies in 1)providers getting paid fairly for what you do along with 2)tort reform so that unnecessary tests are not performed and 3)doctors and hospitals who care about efficiency.

and 4) patients are responsible for paying for services rather than the idea and entitlement of “my insurance should cover it”
