But the same subsidies exist, from the same source, in the state exchanges. What is the difference? Migrating to a different platform to buy the same insurance with the same subsidy is not an ADDITIONAL step toward a single payer.
The step that is Obamacare in the first place was already a big one, though, that is for sure.
Well, on the bright side, subsidies from the Federal ‘exchanges’ perhaps pass through fewer sticky fingers at the State level before reaching the insurance companies.
