    Another head blow for the individual market. Perhaps they should go all the way and declare that people don’t need training to do surgery if they don’t call it surgery.https://twitter.com/larry_levitt/status/979034960366415872 …

    When you step back, Iowa's plan to let the Farm Bureau sell unregulated insurance is pretty wild. Although it looks like health insurance, the Farm Bureau's plan will not be called health insurance. Therefore, it won't be regulated by the state or have to follow any ACA rules. pic.twitter.com/Ik4Gj0GP6I

        Psychiatrists technically “can” do brain surgery, and neurosurgeons technically “can” do psychotherapy and prescribe antipsychotics, but I’m not sure either would lead to higher quality or more evidence based medical care. Just sayin......

        As a case manager in a nebrask hospital I am seeing an increase in really terrible insurance plans. It's hard to see people struggling financially and realizing they are paying for health insurance which provides very little without high out of pocket costs.

        How is this not illegal given the ACA requirements? If it's not truly health insurance, then it's false advertisement in terms of what it's meant to do. No Way UIHC will accept limited benefit insurance like this. Many hospitals won't bill limited benefit plans & it falls to pt.

        Is it immoral for me to hope a proponent of this plan buys this ‘not-insurance’, then develops a serious illness?

        Stated differently; in matters of life and death, & with products/services which can be harmful if used improperly, not all regulation is bad. In fact, it can ensure quality services and EQUALITY of access. Human well-being and lives are not consumer products like TVs and tires.

        IMO insurance is a scam and we’d be better off, after the dust settled, having a doctor—patient relationship without the middlemen, or the greed; or else single payer..
