Why go the "subsidy" route? Why not just give vouchers to people below the poverty level, and let them buy insurance?

We don't subsidize food for the poor through the grocery store. We give the poor food EBT cards and let the grocery charge full price.

And we also limit what items they can buy with their SNAP and WIC cards.

But apparently with Obamacare, that cannot be done.
