He proposes 11 non-murderous solutions to improve the system, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility, competition, and the need for a more rational approach to healthcare spending.

Health insurance companies are often wrongly blamed for high costs. The U.S. healthcare system is heavily regulated and not a free market. Competition in healthcare can drive down costs and improve quality. Healthcare savings accounts (HSAs) could revolutionize personal healthcare spending. Government mandates often complicate healthcare delivery. Incentives should align with personal responsibility in healthcare. The current system incentivizes poor lifestyle choices without consequences. Allowing competition for drugs from overseas can lower costs. An end-of-life plan can significantly reduce healthcare spending.
