We are extremely interested in engaging in group bargaining for lower rates and are actively working with experts who have experience doing this. A recent federal ruling has opened the door to doing this across state lines, which could be very powerful.

A recent federal ruling has opened the door to doing this across state lines, which could be very powerful. This is nice. Infinite power to you if you find success with this angle; I'd support it.
- thedance 7y agoAgain I don't want to attribute this to you or your company, but the number of right-wing dog whistles you have used in this discussion is alarming. Allowing insurance to be sold across state lines is generally a strategy desired by people who want to drive a stake in the heart of the Affordable Care Act. Interstate sales of health plans will have the same effect as interstate banking and lending: a race to the bottom in which insurers choose their regulators. (The other dog whistle is "aligned incentives" where you subtly blame consumers of medical services for presumably squandering their insurers' money.)
