Seriously consider a universal healthcare. Accept that it will be imperfect, but more balanced and will offer a chance to everyone. Another way to look at it: everyone pays for a healthcare insurance --> everyone gets covered.

Universal healthcare falls victim to the "I'm an above average driver" brainworm.

"I'm a healthy 22-year old male with no family history to worry about, go ahead and ravage the program to save me a nickel on taxes."

or, from the other side,

"I might need an ingrown toenail treated and how dare that go into a triage list and I have to come back in six months because there are more seriously ill people-- don't they know I'm rich and important?"
