To me the problem with this is that it doesn't really create competition. If you are poor and have no insurance then the government steps in to pay for your insurance you will have little motivation to actually shop around and find a good deal since you won't really be paying for it.

Imposing fines for people who do not have health insurance has more opposition than govt run healthcare. I know plenty of people that want govt healthcare but say that ppl should not be fined if they have no insurance. Plus how are you going to fine someone that is an illegal immigrant?
