I doubt many would buy/read Glenn Beck's new book, "Arguing With Idiots" just because I recommend it but I think everyone will be interested in some of the information about health care that he has in there. Things that could help the uninsured or those overly charged and insured. I wasn't aware of a number of these options.
CVS [500], Walgreens [400], and Walmart have been opening up clinic at many of their location and have been having price wars on generics. Clinic costs are about 1/2 of normal doc visit and 1/6 of emergency room.
Walmart, $10 for 90-day supply for most generic drugs. Walgreens, $12 for 90-day supply [400 types]. CVS, $9.99 for 90-day supply [100's of types]. And so forth.
Buy your own health insurance.

Price what medical treatments should cost.

Want a 3AM call from a doctor on the cheap?
http://www.teladoc.com/ - for $35 you'll be on the phone with a doc within 3 hours.
Want a doctore via online, webcam, IM, phone or text?
http://www.americanwell.com/ for $45
Walmart is now setting up virtual clinic's that will use things like webcam's and so forth.
How about prepaying up front [$500/yr] and then avoiding larger costs and what looks to be most other costs as well later?

And there's also the story of Dr. John Muney who wanted to offer a plan to his patients that for $79 a month they could have unlimited appointments with him. But that wasn't a no-no for the State Insurance Department of New York - they said it was to cheap. They later settled - he had to charge more and cover less.
Here's a group trying to do the same thing....
