Maybe a solution is to stop using insurance for things insurance shouldn't be involved with? Do you use your car insurance to pay for a new air freshener? Do you use your home owner's insurance to get a new throw rug? Of course not. Yet, we are using insurance to pay for things like birth control and penis pills. We don't use our car insurance to cover a tune-up or inspection, but we expect our health insurance to cover our check-ups. Stop mandating that the insurance companies cover everything and pay for regular health care out of pocket. Or, you know, go with single payer - which is what I'd suggest. But, expecting insurance to cover regular care just means it is one more avenue where an intermediary is profiting without adding real benefit. Insurance is for when things go wrong, not for regular care. Really, though, I'd strongly suggest single payer.
