Only that there is no evidence there would be SIGNIFICANT savings

There isn't any evidence because we haven't tried it so there's no place to get evidence. There are too few people buying their own insurance to have an impact on the market so that isn't evidence that it wouldn't work. There aren't enough people to make an effective demonstration project. Plus we have state laws now that limit what insurance companies can offer.

I think in lieu of evidence we have logic and logic says that if insurance worked as a competitive market that prices would rationalize. But I can't prove it.
