I believe it will fail people miserably, I see millions more insured in "bronze plans" as you do, but one thing those that make more than most don't understand (people like politicians) is that they will not go to the doctor very often if at all because the co-pays will not fit in a budget that also has overpriced minimal coverage insurance in it.

Also, the biggest problem will still remain, refusal by insurance (over money) to allow the performance of procedures regardless of what one's physician says, each and every time they can get away with it.
They will have even more opportunity to commit murder by spreadsheet.
