What you're describing is not an insurance program, it's a socialist redistribution welfare scheme. It's fine and dandy if you want a socialist redistribution welfare scheme, but administering socialist redistribution schemes isn't what insurance companies do.

Exactly. Welfare isn't what insurance companies do.
BTW, Mavdog, if you think that insurance companies are going to operate at a loss just because the government tells them that they can't deny anyone coverage, I think you're in for a rude awakening. The reality is that if you mandate coverage for everyone, for everything, you're going to eventually run all the private insurers out of the market.
And then you'll have the single-payer system.
