Why would democrats reject this idea? It seems like a good way to reduce the rising healthcare costs for everyone.

They'd reject it on principle because it involves reducing taxes.

In a way, this is one of those kinds of moves that backs the opposition into the corner. Ideologically they have to fight it, but in doing so they'll make themselves look like complete assholes to their constituency. Essentially it forces them to put up or shut up.
