Medicare for All will solve a lot of these issues. Look at the healthcare prices in Japan, which has a single payer system. Insanely cheap, high quality, and more doctors per capita than the USA.
The other part that someone like Sanders is pushing is tuition-free colleges. If doctors aren't burdened with half a million in student debt, maybe we can get cheaper care.
Medicare for All would help individuals, but does too little to stop rising costs - you get the benefit of government negotiation and annihilate insurance overhead, but it’s not enough. You help people in the short term, but ultimately you only delay the day of reckoning.
I already posted a link showing doctor and nurse compensation have been flat in the same time period that medical costs increased 10x faster than inflation. While free university might be a good idea for other reasons, this isn’t it.

You combine both programs and you get a real win.
