There is a version of the second option where everyone gets a base level of care and you can pay extra for extra stuff.

these aren't 2 basic options, the 2 options mikesouth pointed out is a red herring...
the core of the problem is that cause of rising costs is not even discussed and so nothing is getting done at all about it...
costs are not rising because people do or do not have insurance... proof is that more people have insurance now than before, and yet health care costs are rising faster than ever...
so discussing how we can give more people free/discounted health insurance is absurd, we need to be discussing why costs are rising and what could be done to slow it down...
