In this last installment I’d like to propose some solutions for policymakers, for doctors and for patients. My recommendations may be quite politically naïve, in that they are currently unpopular and are not likely to gain favor with politicians. But I believe they are economically sound. Popular opinion is fickle, but economic fundamentals are eternal. So the ideas will wait for an eloquent politician to popularize them, and in the meantime we will race in the opposite direction.
