Tax employer-provided health benefits. This would increase my health care costs, and probably yours too. But it would eliminate the existing disconnect between costs and payers, which would reign in costs.

See chart 1 at http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=13899647&... (http://media.economist.com/images/20090627/CBB677.gif).
