Only having catastrophic coverage for most people over 35 does not work, maybe younger too. We’ve already seen this.

You are basically guaranteed to receive care in the United States, doesn’t mean it’s affordable. The people that can’t afford the ~$300 screening or basic healthcare end up waiting until it’s major then we’re back to catastrophic level. People who can’t or don’t pay their medical bills still cost everyone using the health system money, it’s just hidden in fees, higher costs, tax write-offs, etc.
