How is your basic math telling you that paying all the time + catastrophe < just catastrophe alone?
My point is that we are going to pay for it one way or another. Are there people that will stay on it forever? Sure, I don't doubt that there will be. Those are people who likely would have been in the system anyway and there is little we can do about it. However, I think there are a decent number of people who are young, or just had some bad luck etc and are working at improving themselves and helping them with health insurance isn't a bad thing.
