I think we need a system where the rich pay for it, and I can do whatever I want to my body because the system will cover it. Hell, if I want to see what it is like to break my leg and I do, let the system cover it.
I personally don't like the way the insurance companies have caused the health care system to become a money laundering scheme, but that's what freedom is. The constitution says "the pursuit of happiness" not that the gov't will survey everyone tri-annually to ensure happiness.
BTW, the pharmacies in Canada are inexpensive and subsidized. You roll into a hospital with lymphoma and they tell you about how long you are going to live. They aren't in a big rush to spend $400,000 on you.
