Yes a noble cause to take from others and provide a $11K subsidy to a family in this example. What happens when this person decides damn I cant afford the pay the co premium, the deductible and further co pays? What happens with costs when many families with low income are fully subsidized and have no skin in the game? They can use the system as much as they like. So now the onus is on the system to find ways to treat patients cheaper with chronic diseases. What motivation does the patient have? I can tell you from experience most people expect pills and treatment to displace diet and exercise. What recourse does the service provider have? Much like Medicare cost projections Obamacare will be drive usage up and healthcare as a % of GDP through the roof. I am still waiting to see how Obama care gets us $100 MRI's like the Japanese were reported here to have.
