You've come to the nub of it Bentway IMHO. Will Americans tolerate paying more for the other guy? We should know the answer within the next year. Monday morning quarterbacking is almost always an exercise in futility and I don't know what constraints everyone was under when the AFCA was written (certainly profit for the insurance companies was included), but in retrospect I wish we could have designed a barer bones major medical plan that covered people for just the big stuff and required them to purchase that instead of these policies loaded up with frills/extras. If along with that we included the options that were available for extra fees for people who wanted them (maternity care etc.); then, I think, but am not sure, we would not be saddled with as much subsidization by one group (the healthy) for the other (the sick) and that would go down easier. I mean the first item is to get a plan through that the American people can live with--right?
