Let private charity provide more to the poor and indigent.

That said, the US healthcare system is broken. There are probably legislative fixes that can help it.

The free market system works very well most of the time. When it doesn't, you use legislation to tweak it. You don't throw out the baby (capitalism) with the bathwater (broker healthcare/ corporate abuses).
