Didn't know this existed, thanks for sharing. (I got my other impression by Sander's fb which I follow).

If I understood this text correctly, this will be:

An optional insurance plan (SEC. 105) An insurance that gets tax benefits (SEC. 701) An insurance that has incredibly perverse utilization incentives (SEC. 202)

I would be quite on board on this plan if it weren't funded with special taxation, and it gave itself no promise of benefit for being the state, not because I think its a good one, but because it will confirm its a terrible one.
