As long as healthcare is a entrepeneurial, moneymaking endeavor for doctors, and a calculated win/win gamble for insurance companies, the cost will never decrease. The only way to cut the cost is to make it FREE for everyone (who is a citizen), put doctors on salary (they won't need to order needless tests and procedures to pad pockets), eliminate insurance (they won't second guess doctors, or refuse to pay for care), enact tort reform (eliminate frivilous lawsuits), and ration care to those who NEED it, and those who will have a positive outcomes.
anything else is the continued theft of the American dream by big insurance and unethical doctors (not all doctors are greedy...) from the uneducated, the old, the poor, and (most of all) the middle class who fund it all.
