The worst way to proceed is to continue to rely on private insurers. Their incentives inevitably are to blow up administrative costs in order to skim the market and then to deny coverage to that creme de la creme of the market they end up insuring. Cutting out the insurers won't by itself provide the resources to provide universal health care coverage. But, universal coverage won't happen without it as a start.
