I haven't really thought this through, but wouldn't some sort of compromise make the most sense? Social medicine for regular checkups, strep throat, broken bones, etc. and a private, optional insurance for "major" health care issues?

Problem now is that's called the "ER".

Also, there are lots of low-cost/non-profit health care providers in many areas of the country.
