Open a private hospital. If you are not a member of my hospital, you don't get treatment. Period. This hospital also does not take insurance, and all treatment in this hospital is free. How do they make money? Subscriptions.

Lets say you need emergency care and you are 5 minutes from a 'subscription only" hospital and 15 minutes from a normal hospital. You cant go to the subscription hospital and you dont get the nomral hospital in time and you die.  That is unethical from a medical standpoint, that is inefficient to a healthcare standpoint, that is inefficient to an economic standpoint, and it is also illegal.

Perhaps then for his system, there could be emergency transfer releases so that any hospital could care for you in the emergency.  Some kind've write offs and exchanges between hospitals for the emergencies with a hospital owing for the associated costs.

The idea itself seems a little far fetched though.
