"If they operate like any other government agency--pay off your arrearages and we'll restore service--they'll hemorrhage money as people figure out that the sensible thing to do, unless you're already sick, is to buy in for one month, and then "forget" to mail in the rest of the checks."

Medicare already has a scheme to deal with this. If you opt out, you pay a penalty premium to opt back in. Since I'm looking once again at opting out, I recognize that the penalty premium looms large.
