My solution: use any tried and tested model from other countries that have better, cheaper healthcare.

Your solution: a free market where you as the consumer can make your own health choices, of which you are not qualified to understand unless you went to medical school, and expect to pay the lowest cost for things you may need to prevent your own death (we all know price gouging in life or death situations is never a thing). Good luck with that.

Just so you know, unlike your car, you can’t just go buy a new life when you can’t afford to put in a new transmission.

Exactly why I want to make my own healthcare decisions rather than some faceless appointed regulatory body

Maybe you have more faith in politicians to do the right thing on your behalf. I'm sure these systems will still exist and you could follow their guidance (e.g. the food pyramid). I just want more choice
