Is it just me, but if you consider the annual deductibles which will
never decrease if no claims filed, and the undisclosed subsidies based
on income...Isn't this just another white collar welfare program
designed for the healthcare industry?

I don't see where the average family comes out the winner here, unless
they are hit with a catastrophic claim. And most times that is just a
one shot deal anyway if you die as a result.

Maybe I am looking at it the wrong way...
