This is not a problem that you can just wave a magic wand at and suddenly have cheap insurance for anyone that wants it.
I do NOT think our current system is perfect. That said, I do not believe that scrapping a system that works for 250 million people so that 12-40 million (depending on the source) is the right idea. If you're truly interested, in alternatives, I suggest you check out heritage.org or any other reputable conservative group.
Short version is portability...allow insurance policies to be sold across state boarders; tort reform...cap damage suits for medical malpractice/frivilous lawsuits; encourage hsa/msa plans for catastrophic care; and most importantly, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. It's amazing how little people know about how to utilize their coverage in the most efficient and economical ways possible.
