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.

Why require people to health insurance?  Make health care affordable, then if they choose to purchase insurance, they can.  If not, they don't.

As for lowering the cost of health care, we need to address the reasons for its current high cost.  The reasons, as usual, are a result of government interference in a free market.
