    Insurers fleeing Iowa due to a single $1M/month teen w blood disorder. Public reinsurance would fix that. Will GOP?http://bit.ly/2rwCdep

        Why on earth does this treatment have to cost $1 million? The cost of healthcare in the USA is truly ridiculous and utterly irrational. #NHS

        After over 50 years of this, do we still not understand that public reinsurance just means many more $1m/month patients?

        Insurance would not fix the biggest problem. What are the market forces behind $1M/month cost? That is obscene & frankly warrants review.

        This misses the point; medical care is for the sick. Although, many exploit it. Otherwise, it's not supposed to be a capitalist business

        Undermining the exchanges by creating reinsurance uncertainty will hurt millions & only lower premiums for those who need coverage the least

        So would adequate reinsurance. I thought rule finalized at end of 2016 would start national risk sharing for ACA plans stating in 2018?

        Define public reinsurance. Like nuclear and flood? You may be on to something. Reinsurance is key.

        Dr @Atul_Gawande: we have similar cases in Alberta, Canada. They got public funding while inpt and support for outpt coverage. #healthforall

        This story that the insurance companies are peddling reeks of BS... they should provide a general detail of why the patient was so expensive

        Too many "villains" in this story. Remains us of why "healthcare is so complicated" and why bipartisan efforts and achievements are needed!
