Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t this be another welfare program that will grow exponentially over time?
Also, what prevents everyone from getting in this pool that taxpayers pay for? What are the qualifications to join?

Yes, spiritually, it would be another welfare program, but I don’t see it growing exponentially over time. Linearly, perhaps, or, constant. The idea is that it would *reduce* overall HC costs >>for the insuring entity<< by removing the very highest-cost patients from the pool, and thus the insurers could reduce costs to patients. Whether that would actually happen is another story.
Well, what are the motivations for otherwise normal people to try to convince anyone they have 6-figure healthcare costs?
What are the entry qualifications? Annual exams, for one, at a level that would look to boot people out of the program rather than to get more and more people in, as current programs do.
