We want a solution. It's not a problem that is gonna have a "this fixes it" solution.
It's more "this is economically the best option for the biggest faction of people".

Reality bolded above. One of the reasons I had such an issue with the ACA. There was a small % of the population that couldn't get insurance on their own due to health conditions. But they changed insurance for 100% of the population for the sake of that small percent of people. Coverage increased, yes. But cost skyrocketed for EVERYONE.
No actual answer that solves everything. Only measures that could make things slightly less painful. And again, I'm not smart enough to know the best options. But I do strongly believe unwinding insurance from employment would do wonders, even if that prospect is unrealistic.
