Simple way to cut medical cost

[edpell]

A simple way to cut medical cost would be to limit medical care to only items that were widely available in 1960. Do not fund any drug, surgery, procedure, etc.

Life in 1960 was OK. People did not die in the streets. Unless we are saying people are less healthy today than 1960 this should drive medical costs back to there 1960 level.

Sorry, but this isn't a realistic enough option for discussion. Locked.

While limiting medical care to only items available in 1960 may seem like a simple solution to cutting costs, it is not a practical or ethical approach. Medical advancements and technology have greatly improved our understanding and treatment of various diseases and conditions since 1960. Restricting access to necessary treatments and procedures based on a specific time period would not only be detrimental to patients' health, but it would also hinder progress in the medical field. Additionally, this approach fails to account for the rising costs of healthcare due to factors such as inflation and increased demand for services. Instead of limiting access to medical care, a more effective and sustainable solution would be to address the root causes of high medical costs, such as inefficient healthcare systems and overpriced medications.
