They could "take" people's money and the "just compensation" would be a health insurance policy that would include enumerated essential health benefits, and the "public use" would be to save a health care system dependent on health care insurance policies and government support through Medicaid and Medicare. The premise was to get more healthy people to pay premiums for health insurance they would never use; this would allow people with health issues to pay lower premiums for their health insurance. Unfortunately, the penalty for not buying health insurance is without teeth and EMTALA as a safety net has further enabled people to not buy health insurance. One of the main reasons to opt out of the health insurance requirement was the fact that people could still have access to health care whether they were insured or not. The ACA is in a financial crisis as insurance carriers are pulling out of the exchanges and healthy people continue to avoid the requirement to purchase health insurance.
