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

So you think "SWEET, insurance I can afford!" They say "it doesn't cover everything but it's cheap"

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

Because the insurance did not, in fact, cover a whole lot of things, but you didn't want to or know how to read the coverage. #mepolitics

This is why the ACA has "essential benefits" because raise your hand if you've ever read everything your insurance does and does not cover.
