My hope is that as each state needs to work out how they will run the insurance exchanges, a few states are going to figure out something that works quite well, then the others will copy it. However, I still believe that a low cost public option would be a powerful way to push prices down. If people could basically buy into Medicaid, that might be better than a lower cost private insurer. Insurance companies need to profit. The government can provide care at parity, or if it is for the poor, justifiably do so at a loss.
