I was going to suggest this. I am thinking that I would rather government step in and try and fix the corruption and greed in the private system, while insuring the uninsurable once the health insurance company says they have gone over a certain amount. The government would be able to charge/tax the company a small amount to cover the premium. They should also come up with a very low/no income plan, but it wouldn't be really desirable compared to a non-monopolistic private plan.
It will be interesting to see what the Obama Plan is tonight...
