Well, that's kinda the point. There is no simple answer and there may be no answer at all other than to tweak the current system.

Any replacement system is going to run into different problems of varying degrees. Any attempt to inject the government as more than regulatory oversight (i.e. make it the sole insurer) is simply going to create as many, if not more, problems than it resolves.

The system is not great - it has gaps and inefficiencies, but the same can be said of any health care system out there. Particularly on the scale of service required by the US. Essentially, it's not great but it could be a hell of lot worse (just like our legal system).
