off-the-cuff-kneejerk-response; don't flame me for it, but:

much as it would hurt initially, I think the very concept of insurance
should be made illegal.  I have very strong suspicions that the high cost
of medicine is due primarily to the (near)guarantee that insurance will
pay for it (think generally/historically).  Eventually the cost of
medecine would approach what people could pay for out-of-pocket; anything
more expensive would be much like a high-cost consideration for the credit
card.

Add to that my belief that the cost of most things should be graduated: 
you earn N times more than John Q, so you pay N times more.  (yeah, yeah
... I stole that from "Iron Monkey")
