"How do we avoid the moral hazards of overusing the system without paying for it? "

I think this has already been answered by the HMO's for whom it's currently a financial hazard - out of pocket copays.

MY copays have gone up 300% in the last 10 years, and definitely discourage me from abusing my benefits. To determine who can't afford copays and include them, some form of means testing as well.
