You make public health care with fixed prices to contain the capitalism incentive. Worked for us in france: hospitals get pressure from the state and must justify their refundable expenses.

It's not perfect, there are still abuses, but it's nowhere the circus we see in the US.

How about outpatient prescriptions? Does a GP (or group thereof) get a budget of expenditures on prescriptions that they have to stay within?
