The Obamacare "fix" already existed in several states. You believe that such a policy has certain consequence - can you identify those states by looking for that consequence?
Note that pretty much every state had "if you keep your care, you can change providers", so the problem was only for folks who dropped coverage and then wanted back in.
If you have a relevant condition, dropping coverage seems like an odd thing to do.
- LorenPechtel 5y agoSome states had high risk pools. Limited coverage, limited access, high premiums.
- anamax 5y agoI was unclear. While some states did have high-risk pools, other states had "can't turn down" rules much like Obamacare. Can you identify the "can't turn down" states by looking for the predicted health outcomes of such a policy?
- LorenPechtel 5y agoIn one sense we were a can't-turn-down state. No limit on the premium, though, and note the response I received from an insurance application. The can't-turn-down option wasn't meaningful.
