Bronze plan represents minimum creditable coverage and provides the essential health benefits, cover 60% of the benefit costs of the plan Perhaps it's a terminology thing. By full coverage I didn't mean that it paid 100%. What I meant is that it pays for what in my piece I called "every-day" stuff. In my scheme, insurance doesn't cover earaches. It covers brain surgery. This is totally different from Obamacare which in the case of the bronze plan pays 60% of both earaches and brain surgery. Elective surgery...not a good base case for comparison. I don't see why not. The examples were of arenas where competition has or is beginning to show cost reductions. Obviously all those things will be elective/peripheral because insurance covers the critical stuff. Competition will never work for brain surgery. But it can work for more than what it does now. That's been the pattern... It's very interesting to me that you latched on the similarities and totally missed what a different paradigm it is.
