I'm a fan of M4A, but I think something the gov't could do is allow people to earn tax credits for practicing preventative care that help lower whatever tax increase would be created to fund healthcare. That creates a financial incentive to try to be healthy while not necessarily discouraging people from going to the doctor when they really need to (which can happen with out of pocket expenses, HSA or not). E.g. on one of my old plans I got a $300 visa gift card just for going to a checkup.
