"why are we sending billions in subsidies to insurance companies when we could just give the money directly to Americans to choose their own healthcare"
Won’t people just pocket the money and go uninsured raising the cost for everyone else?

Wow! You sound like a je-k. Can’t trust that people will make decisions best for their families and just want to be living off government money.
I don’t think insurance companies are doing anything great with the money either. They just figure out more ways to keep that money and not use it to improve healthcare.
@OP pocket how much money - buy your own insurance - are you actually thinking that will work and be affordable? Beyond crazy.
you are concerned they will pocket the money and not buy insurance - but have no clue how much money you need to buy your own insurance. Will this mean that lifetime max, pre-existing conditions will all return.?
Good luck on that one...
