The kind of price controls you're describing are exactly how other nations save money on health care expenditures. They impose price controls on health care, and tell providers (whether they be providing services or drugs or equipment) that they're going to have to eat smaller reimbursement rates.

And price controls work really well, don't they? We don't have loads of examples of bad outcomes on things like rent control, do we? Things that are taught in every Econ 101 class?
