         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong><sup>There are many ways to reducing healthcare costs in America that could also benefit citizens from all ages.</sup></strong></p><p><br></p><pre><code>Preventative care:</code></pre><p><br></p><p><strong><sup>One example could be the practice of prioritizing and funding more for preventative care. This could decrease healthcare costs by a significant amount since children and adults are being treated before any issues progress. According to </sup><em><sup>Healthy People 2030, </sup></em><sup>it is important for children to receive recommended preventative care since they are easier to treat.</sup></strong></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://odphp.health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/preventive-care"><strong><mark><sup><sub>https://odphp.health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/preventive-care</sub></sup></mark></strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><pre><code>Eliminating unnecessary costs:</code></pre><p><br></p><p><strong><sup>Beginning to eliminate unnecessary practices could also significantly reduce the healthcare in America. Physicians typically use and order expensive tests, procedures, etc. without any clear benefit of the patient which can drive up costs a lot. With this money, it should be used in funding research to see which tests has the patients best interests and offers more benefits to them. Cutting unnecessary costs will increase the budget tremendously.</sup></strong></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(09)01115-2/fulltext"><mark><sup>https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(09)01115-2/fulltext</sup></mark></a><mark><sup><br></sup></mark></p><p><br></p><pre><code> Reducing prescription drug prices. </code></pre><p><br></p><p><strong><sub>According to sources, limiting the practice of evergreening in America would help lower healthcare costs. Many argue that there should be transparency in the required drug pricing as well. By reducing these prices, private insurers would also be spending less on the prescription and can offer a lower more affordable health insurance for patients.</sub></strong></p><p><br></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.pgpf.org/article/how-can-we-reduce-the-cost-of-an-increasingly-expensive-healthcare-system/"><mark><sup>https://www.pgpf.org/article/how-can-we-reduce-the-cost-of-an-increasingly-expensive-healthcare-system/</sup></mark></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>
