Can I ask, would a system like the NHS in the UK ever be viable in the US?
It's not perfect, but it certainly gives us UK residents surety that we are always fairly protected if we were to become unhealthy. Also, they literally don't stop providing care until you're either better or pass away. In that sense, the NHS is really quite amazing.

Incrementally extend eligibility of existing large plans (eg local govt, self insured corps). One side effect will be to increase customer bargaining power (vis-a-vis insurers). Rock, paper, scissors.
