Over 35% of the country has 0 tax liability anyway, and I'm fairly sure that's greater than the % of those without health insurance. So it's borderline wealth redistribution at that point.

Not to mention we should expect a group of bureacrats who have never run anything to effectively manage our healthcare is a laughable thought.
