Excellent presentation.
An excellent presentation. Dr Goodman shows the bad effects of forcing Medicaid to offer “free care” — it leads providers to flee the program.
I am cautious about Dr Goodman’s solution for Obamacare. He would open up the underwritten short tem plans to anyone in any state – which I like. If a family had one member with a serious chronic illness, that person could “duck back” into a guaranteed issue Obamacare plan.
The result of this would be super-high premiums for the Obamacare plans. They would be full of people with cancer diagnoses and pending surgeries of all kinds. Let’s say that the resulting premiums would be $15,000 per person. Would there be subsidies? We are back in the same debates we are having now.
