Do you have an alternative that addresses all those points and is cheaper than the current American system?

Yeah, price controls? AFAIK most affluent countries have some form of price controls in place.

And they also don't tie (through culture and regulations) access to health insurance (and therefore care) to employment situations.

Really... break ties between "employment" and "health insurance". It's a massive distortion of the 'free market', which is typically a conservative crowing point.
