Reducing the length of stay in the hospital. In most cases the US hospitals will confine patients until diagnostic tests have been found. This encourages delay, other factors that causes delay and should be gotten lead of include; physician’s lateness, Absence of standard practices, and hospital infections due to poor sterilization.

The US government should involve itself too in maintaining quality hospitals. This can be done through providing incentives like financial aid to hospitals to enhance their expansion and efficiency. It seems that the greatest cause of cost inefficiency is labor. The cost of labor is so expensive that no matter how hard the government tries to contain the situation the cost of labor cannot be contained.
This is because individuals have their own margins that they have set regarding how much they should be paid. However the government cannot use this as an excuse for the situation to continue worsening. Government can import more labor from outside for instance in developing countries they have equally qualified medics who can work for less pay than doctors from developed countries.

Government has been reported to have over spent on buying drugs to a point that drug companies profits are sky rocketing. The contracting part is that some of these drugs are being given out as donations, while others are disposed as waste. Government should have a specific budget, not trying to show the rest of world how passionate it is to other countries’ problems while its own citizens are suffering.
