Is there a way to set up a health care system in which capitalist pressures would lead to HMOs actually competing to cover sick people, rather than accepting their dues when they're healthy and then dropping them at the first sign of illness?

Capitalism only works if the pressures of competition push things in a good direction. Is there a way to organize health insurance along those lines?
