Obamacare, Retooled

Professor Tyler Cowen's proposals in today's New York Times lack some free market trust busting ideas that an Economist at George Mason University might want to consider.  How about lowering entry barriers for health providers so that a walk in walk out surgical procedure in a clinic is more reasonable than $50,000 at a clip? How about demanding out of patent drugs be used in all instances where public subsidy of cost is required.  Otherwise and extraordinary drug's expense is for the patient and his non subsidized insurer to shoulder.  I am sure there are other ideas to control costs, so let the market develop them easily.
