But to employ that system in the U.S. would be very difficult. Americans are used to not paying cash for their healthcare services.

The key is having a public health care hospital system, with support from the government. This can be a system in parallel to private hospitals, which would be free to operate as they please. Singapore has a similar system. In addition, there are tiers of insurance: there is a minimum insurance available to all, and then "extra insurance" for those who want expiermental treatments, cosmetic surgery, there choice of physician and hospital, etc.etc. There is a speicifc insurance for elderly, just like Medicare. This is all in the Singapore system. He should look at the Singapore health care system, one of the best in the world.
