If a person doesn't have enough sense to fund their own retirement, the government should not be required to step forward and do so.

There are estimated to be about eight million who really can't afford the insurance. The rest are either "immortal" or already qualified for a government program but not signed up. Eight million is a manageable number. If push came to shove, you could probably just put them on Medicaid and be done with it. You don't have to upend the whole health system over those eight million. Not that the health system couldn't use some fixing, but that's not the immediate problem for the eight million.
