Based upon what? Do you have anything to back up your purely arbitrary, pulled-from-a-hat choice of figures?

It would be a bureaucratic nightmare, like virtually everything else our government is currently responsible for.

The "government" is responsible for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, our veterans (TRICARE) and SCHIPS. They seem to do pretty damn well. Not perfect, but damn - those are some good programs. My parents get their Social Security check like clockwork on the same date every month. They go to the doctor, and submit their Medicare claims. No "bureaucratic nightmares" involved at all. Quite reliable, predictable and easy, in fact.
You want to eliminate them all, I suppose?

If the population growth continues at the rate over the last 30 years (mathematically it will expand much faster) we will have 450MM by 2040. Then what, huh?

Then we have to believe your arbitrary numbers have already been proven as true, why?
We could have more healthy people in the pool lowering cost and risk for everyone.
Or, population could level out, as is predicted by nearly everyone (not the growth you are saying will happen)
