Why do you think the cost of paying out of pocket is so high? Private insurance bears a significant part of the responsibility for causing that problem.

Structurally, yes, you need a system that amounts to healthy people saving, and sick people being taken care of from those savings, whether it's individual or social. But our current system of private for-profit insurance is about as bad as such a system could be while still technically sorta working.
