How much subsidy do you think this will cost? Less than a Trillion?

The real issue is not what this was sold as in version 1.0 but what it
evolves into as the short comings are revealed.
The CBO scored what they were told, not what this thing will end up

Congress always finds it easier to add new benefits than to get the
revenue to pay for them.

Universal medicare, just like modern countries in the rest of the world
have. Of course, we'll have to clean out the sharks...

Medicare is not really single payer. There is still at least one
private insurance company involved and there may be 2 or more.

Several of the European nations have a universal system that involves
private insurers and also allows them to sell supplemental policies.
They've mostly cleaned out their sharks.
