Impossible to police. Liberals/Democrats got slammed for giving money to the poor to buy school supplies because some who received the funds went and bought video games and stuff instead. How do you guarantee that people will spend the money on insurance? And in the grand scheme of things, $5000 is a drop in the bucket over a lifetime of insurance premiums that double every 7 years
