    Healthcare has two equilibrium points: medicare-for-all OR use pre-existing conditions & medical exam to weed out the [potentially] sick.https://twitter.com/citizencohn/status/839884883015118849 …

    Paul Ryan says insurance can't work if healthy must pay more to subsidize the sick. But this is exactly what happens in every employer plan.

        Why not a single national market with 100% participation aka mandate + end of employer healthcare + end of Medicaid + subsidies?

        Obamacare tried to balance this via a mandate, but a fractured insurance system makes that solution unstable. Some people will need more $$.

        Special Interests (ahem, employers) will always get special treatment when it comes to health insurance.

        Yeah, everyone with comfy employer-provided care won't want to change, even if this will give them agency and lower costs.

        I don't think they would be worse off. Employers would have to pass down existing insurance costs as one time pay raise

        Sure, but by making costs transparent to everyone, pressure to get unit cost and spending down everywhere, rite?

        Which is a huge problem imho for the economy as a whole. Facilitates the "complacent class" to reference @tylercowen

        All i am saying here is that transitional impact on those with employer HC could be mitigated.
