At the end of the day, somebody has to pay for the health care.

...indeed. that's why healthcare itself needs to be as inexpensive as possible. we need entrepreneurs working on making the care a commodity. And if necessary policymakers to defend that position.

To make it inexpensive you'd have to deregulate it a bit...
I'm a fan of people being allowed to sell medical services regardless of qualifications, BUT being required to explicitly state and advertise their (lack of) qualifications. Have more continuous rather than binary qualifications too.
That would drive prices down for the poorest, allowing them to purchase healthcare, while not really affecting the rest of us who can afford the inflated prices.
