I do think it's very odd for any company to be making big bets on private health insurance when that system isn't going to exist in another 5-10 years. The ACA was the last stab at leaving private insurers in charge of a somewhat more regulated system, and it failed.
- jrs95 9y agoPersonally I'd be surprised if it doesn't still exist within the next 20 years. I don't think that much has changed in regards to how much political power this industry has. Just because the people are starting to get on board with single payer doesn't mean the politicians are going to care.
- vzqx 9y agoI think most people see ACA's failure as a failure of government regulation, not as a failure of private insurers. If anything the pendulum is going to swing the other way, and we'll see more privatized healthcare in the near future (5-10 years).
