Succession Threads: Merged

[nynco]

The problem is that they are cartels. I believe health insurance companies were exempted from anti-trust sometimes around 1946. I can look this up if anybody cares. From what I've read of this pile of poop of a plan is that it was mainly a giveaway to these guys. I doubt if the states have the power to unwind this. It has a few features that are sort of populist to make it less raw.

I'm a big believer in free markets but openness and information are required. Asymmetries of power and information wreck this. Assuming I had some money and wanted to get my house remodeled there are sites I can go and publish my specs and contractors will be bidding on that. Good luck getting quotes from docs. They act like you should be grateful that they see you. You only get some info when you are moving into uncovered territory. You see a little more of this open quality in dentists since most people have crappy or no dental insurance.
