Our government imposes massive requirements on health insurance that drives up costs. It does far less for auto insurance.

Well, yeah, humans are different than cars.

IMO having some sort of universal care paired with optional enhanced private coverage for acute issues or other things would make sense.

That and turning health insurance into, well, insurance.

You don't need insurance for small things you can pay out of pocket. (Or entirely predictable costs like a pregnancy without complications or getting glasses every year.)

You need insurance for catastrophic events that would wreck your finances.
