Mandate price transparency for providers and payers. Make GoodRx app (perscriptions) like price comparisons possible for all health services. Ensure cash prices as an option and encourage comparisons to insurance prices. Rank all health services by percentile cost (cash list prices) in the market for consumer evaluation. Stop the patient milking games.

Price transparency would definitively be a great starting point.
It may also help if we could have a reference to medicare cost. For instance when shopping for IRM, it would become easier to identify if a provider is overcharging or provide a reasonable price. Same could be applied to drugs.
Provider would then provide their prices and the percentage compared to medicare.
