“A set of tiered public plans will cover standard services and are expected to be up to 10% cheaper than comparable private insurance, thanks in part to savings from a cap on rates paid to providers.”

Obviously the best doctors won’t be joining the list of “providers”.

Washington is set to become the first state to enter the private health insurance market with a universally available public option

Granted our expectations for the AP are already incredibly low but could they at least avoid a contradiction in term in the lead sentence?

thanks in part to savings from a cap on rates paid to providers.

So, Medicaid/Medicare also put caps on what providers are paid, correct? Hence the reason that some doctors will not accept patients that are using either program for their care, correct?

Now, the state of Washington is going to offer a plan, where the payout is capped...and...the taxpayer is also, FORCED, to pay into the federal plan which also caps the payout.

Sounds like sound fiscal policy to me. Dare anyone to argue.

The Left is getting more and more insane by the minute.

So are illegal immigrants covered?

Do I have to ask if Democrats passed this?

So I can buy it after I discover I have cancer or after I become injured in a car accident?

...

Price controls cause prices to go up. They’ll charge people without capped plans more to make up the difference.

I have been a self-employed bookkeeper since 1980.

You ‘cap’ my rates for my services & I will not do your work, or I will bill more hours to get the results I need.
