You realize that a lot of the cost capping is only done because the government as a single payer has massive negotiation power, or they mandate what the cost will be and providers cover it due to the government being single payer. Simply trying to mandate cost caps for services and drugs without having the government being the single payer makes little sense.

In addition, costs likely wouldn't nearly come down enough for the poor to afford good health care.

And man, do I completely disagree with you on unions. A software developer's union is multiple times more important to society than a police union.
