First and foremost, there should be a single risk pool for the entire population. THE fundamental problem that the ACA ran into (despite numerous papers from reputable research outfits saying they didn't expect this), is that too many people with pent up care needs were dumped into too small a risk pool, and hence the cost spiral. So I would force a single risk pool, tinker with the tax credit/subsidy to remove the staged cliff problem (that is downright nuts), make some accommodation for religious beliefs on an individual basis (but not corporate basis), and then mount a nationwide effort on the cost of care via technology, particularly AI, with tort reform for those who accept AI care (which will annoy all the provider segment, but tough luck there!). What do you think would be a good approach? Or do you think it should be left alone? Do you have any quarrels with your policy other than the cost? I remember back when you were upset at being forced off your previous policy.
