Yes, but (none / 0)

This is not new...as a matter of fact this is exactly how insurance works.

The profitable (young and healthy) don't use as much money as they put in but still have "insurance"  in case of an emergency. You can't only allow people who use more than they put in, it is not sustainable.

Medicare (none / 0)
and Medicaid are what you are describing. Currently the rest of us pay the balance of the shortfall. In otherwords, we already have the worst form of single payer, the working class tax payer.
