The problem is who is the bad guy when somebody gets caught?
No, the problem is we have a system which rewards and encourages being a bad guy. If a person figures they'll save a few bucks by lying on their application, they're a bad guy. If a mom knows that her kids will not be able to get medical insurance for anything which happens to them if she notifies the new company about a condition which may or may not ever cause a problem, and she omits that information - is she a "bad guy?" If a person doesn't tell the insurer about a heart problem, and they deny her medical coverage for injuries sustained in a car accident which has nothing to do with her heart - who is the "bad guy?"

Are you certain that would make things better? How would that stop fraud? It hasn't so far with the government run programs.
Well, it would solve the problem highlighted in this story, wouldn't it?
