And that is what we really need for health insurance. I think the current system allows for a $5000 HSA. Maybe it can be bigger... but that determines your deductable. So on top of the HSA, you have an insurance program that covers you against terrible losses due to medical bills. I would expect that as people got used to the concept, these things would move around a bit till we got it right. What you are not paying in rediculous premiums you use for paying medical bills (you put that money in an HSA, which is not taxed).

Yes, some poor person will ***** about it, but the system wide savings should help them out.

If the government gives you everything, then what need is there for you te "better" yourself? Where is the struggle that makes it worthwhile?
