In all honesty, it pretty much amounts to a somewhat weaker version of Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg & Amy Klobuchar's "ACA 2.0 w/Public Option" proposals (which are already considered "weak tea" by the more progressive members of the Democratic base, although I'm actually pretty impressed by each of them myself).

Here's Bloomberg's plan verbatim from his campaign website:
