On Bending the Healthcare Cost Curve

There are only two ways (that I can figure) to really accomplish it (and, no, one of them ISN'T Obamacare); a) A single payer system replete with rationing or b) healthcare savings accounts supplemented with a catastrophic provision in which the patient controls his own expenditures (eliminating the middle-man of government and the insurance companies). I myself much prefer the latter option because it seems to be working for various non-insured healthcare procedures such as lasix eye surgery and nose (and boob) jobs (a much improved outcome at lowered costs).
