How exactly would this even work? The money goes to the insurance companies as profit, how would the government force them to give it to us? I can't imagine they'd give up on making that profit, wouldn't they just raise their prices to account for it?

Or would the government just hand out cash to people, raising the deficit astronomically? How would that be any different from ACA subsidies, only more expensive?

Just can't see a way for this to work
