The Simple Solution

Why don't we look at healthcare like we look at driving insurance?
Just require all adults to purchase health insurance like all drivers must have car insurance.

Let the states define what "minimum coverage" is, and focus the rest of your energy on legislation to reign in the exorbitant fees doctors, hospitals, health equipment manufacturers, and pharm companies charge.  Really, this is the problem with healthcare now, not the lack of universal coverage.

Let's all get angry, and shoot eachother with caps lock.  I like the idea of the mix, because free market and socialized are both too extreme, and it's obvious that way, from what I had gotten from THIS video here http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/22/obama.health.care/index.html#cnnSTCVideo
Obama was saying that he wants to make a government backed healthcare COMPANY.
