OP, how "libertarian" of you to suggest the private hospital.
I do agree that preventable healthcare is the cheapest and most effective, however.
Under our current US system, if you work at a good enough place, you will automatically get healthcare, no?
For those who don't have insurance, I'm not quite sure what can be done. Perhaps the government can hand out insurance vouchers so that the poor can use it on insurance. the insurance vouchers will at least force competition among insurance companies and hospitals.
I think vouchers would go a long way for schools too (then parents will can choose to send their kid to a different school if their school sucks), but that's an entirely different argument.
