The policyholders ARE taxpayers.

If health insurance was required to be non-profit, instead of commercial profit-making corporations, premiums would be lower, coverage would be higher, and taxpayers wouldn't need to pay so much for the benefit. Sadly though, whenever someone brings up the concept, someone else screams "socialism!" and everyone loses. Except shareholders and the CEO.
