It seems like MA has avoided some of the affordability problems that ACA has seen. How do they do it? Higher subsidy levels?

No. They haven't. They had affordability rates from the start. 16-20% of covered adults couldn't afford care.

I pointed this out a ton in 2009. It was deemed uninteresting.

Thanks. Essence of problem is inadequate subsidy, right? Not necessarily structural? Plus, insurance antitrust stuff...

Nope. not in the least. Essence of problem RIGHT NOW is ACA was about subsidizing insurers, not providing care.

OK, I was thinking subsidizing buyers, but I think I get it. I think single-payer never happens. Who has proposed alternatives?
