I still don't grok all the details, but it doesn't sound that bad. Like, it sounds better than any state I've ever lived in (except maybe California in the 70s).
My family health insurance is $1200 per month. I've been thinking about just dropping it and paying the docs every six months when we need them. That would be way cheaper until we have a cancer or something. And if the $500 per year is paying for their state care, then that's a hell of a bargain (though it alternatively sounds like that's not what's happening).
I wish that everyone was on the same health plan—eliminating insurance competition, and that further, people with higher means didn't have the option of going outside the system. That would incentivize them to make damn sure the system was good for everyone. (Or y'know cheat and leave...but good riddance.)
