14. It would create a new criminal class
people whose crime was working jobs that don't pay enough for them to feed and house their kids plus pay an insurance company's profit.

That's why these plans are evil and will never work.

Add to that the fact that for profit insurance will still try to exclude preexisting conditions (even that broken arm your kid had in the third grade, no treatment ever for anything involving that arm even if it's 60 years later), delaying care in the hope you'll die before they're forced to approve it, and denying care altogether plus refusing to pay for anything you get that isn't in some computer model if you do manage to get care.

This is the illusion of coverage for those who can afford it plus entry into a criminal class for those who can't.

It sucks.
