The simple fact of the matter is that relying on market forces is going to drive premium costs uphttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/912465243426611201 …
Health Nerd added,
I've written about this before. Free market economics just doesn't reduce costs in the health environmenthttps://tincture.io/why-markets-arent-the-solution-to-healthcare-spending-b83a9ba59963 …
Despite the rhetoric about reducing costs, all the evidence says that these policies will drive massive increases instead
If Cruz was actually interested in lowering premiums, he'd be looking at expanding and improving Obamacare
So they are doomed to fail, because their entire platform rests on the idea that they can reduce costs
But they are trying to do it in a way that is GUARANTEED to increase the average premium
They might find it easier to just admit that they only care about healthcare for rich people and try to push through those changes.
On the other hand, maybe not.
