but not so much for new people

I understand your point. You don't design systems around transitions from the current scenario but rather for ongoing future scenarios. (Which is part of what's wrong with the pending legislation.) Then you work out a separate plan for transitioning.

I haven't fallen into that trap. I'm thinking of those who would run out of money entirely within the ongoing future scenario. If in the future someone was diagnosed with something that caused him to became uninsurable and if you put that person in a program based on catastrophic insurance, would not such a lower-middle or middle-middle-class person run out of money eventually? Particularly if that person was not able due to his condition to work regularly?
