I'll continue to blame greedy health insurance companies as well!  Look at all the countries with Universal Healthcare---the way you do it is realizing that healthcare should not be a "for profit" industry.  With UHC, you don't need thousands of execs at Aetna, UHC, BCBS, etc making millions (or at least $500K+/year).  Rates are set based on the COLA for your area.  You don't need workers whose job it is to deny claims.  If a doctor says you need an MRI or certain medication, you need it and you get the service for a set price.  
There won't need to be 3-4 month fights between major hospital systems and certain healthcare companies almost yearly to decide if they are still "in network" as they negotiate who gets paid what.  Yes, you will eliminate many jobs, but those are mostly non medical people who can work in other industries (office jobs).  Thus reducing the costs significantly
