> Home ownership was a bubble that popped in 08. Health insurance is a bubble that may pop when AMZN gets in the market.
Both of these assertions seem ridiculous to me. Home ownership was not ‘a bubble’, selling high interest loans to under-qualified buyers and then creating and trading a bunch of securities around them was the bubble. And the idea that amazon entering the health insurance market will somehow transform the entire paradigm of American healthcare is absurd.
