This would provide those folks access to potentially less expensive insurance, but make the risk pools they leave less stable. #mepolitics

This creates different winners/losers, but tough to tell if there is a net gain. There would probably be a short term gain to #mepolitics

those who move, a short term loss to insurers. Everything would re-balance a year or so out, more $ pp into exchange...somehow. #mepolitics

A better choice might be to open up MaineCare to businesses/individuals to buy in. That would expand the state's risk pool. #mepolitics

STLDI plans are generally worse than current ACA plans, though they may be less expensive...because they cover less. #mepolitics

You think "well, it's for a few months, what could go wrong" Then you have an accident Then you realize you are buying someone a new car
