Was probably aggressive to characterize it as "trivial"
Some examples of cost effective interventions include better mental health and substance abuse treatment in primary care (methadone tx for example), integration of medical and behavioral health reimbursement and relaxing some onerous rules like not being able to bull for medical and behavioral services on the same day (though I think this is improving), better training and supervision for mental health professionals, more rigorous research into group therapy, Better education on psychiatric meds for PCPs, more follow up etc
I wonder which are those other cost-effective ways to improve access to care you refer to...
