It would be a lot simpler if a huge portion of revenue didn't get sucked up by a corrupt billing system and legal costs were nil. Next would be to work on the cost of medical supplies. Not only does a hospital charge 4 dollars for a Band-Aid, they pay too much for same.

Any government involvement whatsoever is not going to reduce costs and that's all that's wrong. If you lived in a small island nation with a decent economy, you would build medical facilities and hire staff. Your system would be designed to cover cost. Nothing wrong with public sector financing, but the administering should be private and non profit.
