A simple way to cut medical cost would be to limit medical care to only items that were widely available in 1960. Do not fund any drug, surgery, procedure, etc.

Life in 1960 was OK. People did not die in the streets. Unless we are saying people are less healthy today than 1960 this should drive medical costs back to there 1960 level.
