Some examples:

PROBLEM: Healthcare is way more expensive per capita in the US than any other country in the word.

DEMOCRATS' SOLUTION: Raise taxes on a ton of people and corporations, and have the government foot the entire bill. Don't bother addressing costs. Assume that the removal of insurance companies will save a lot of money (even though it won't).

ACTUAL SOLUTION: Thoroughly investigate the reasons for the high costs, eliminate those factors, introduce free market competition, disincentivize waste. At the same time, make sure low and semi-low income Americans have continued access to healthcare.
You can't be serious. The reason for higher costs are already known. Doctors/hospitals can more or less charge what the market will allow. There are no real controls. You already have free a market system but because they are not selling Ho Ho's the number of providers is limited. This takes away the benefits of free market competition.
