The answer is to maintain both private and public insurance systems. As is already the case with Medicare. I don't think anyone is stopping you from buying your own private insurance if you are 65+.
And that's the thing I find strange about the healthcare debate in the US. There is already a huge public insurance system in place - Medicare. Yet people pretend that a public system like that is some sort of ideological novelty in the US. It's not.
