Sure but catastrophic care isn't very cost efficient. That's pretty much the way the system works now. People don't have insurance so they go to the hospital when they are really sick...and the public ends up eating the cost.
That's one of the main reasons everyone thinks we need reform in the first place, because with our aging coach potato population those uninsured emergency room visits will end up driving up the cost of medicine and putting the government deeper in debt. Ironically, if you insured everybody and there was better preventive care the costs would go down, not up.
