Lots of things - but I am not going to spell it out tonight.
Briefly, it comes down to “risk pools”. People should be allowed to join the risk pool they favor, and not forced to join ones that they do not.
For example, Social Security is a plan I would never have joined, given a chioce.
Ditto Medicaide.
All of the “Government” attempts to control behavior, are attempts to contol risk.
Helmet laws, non-smoking laws, you name it.
So, until we dump the idea of forced shared risk, the government will increasingly try to micromanage risk-taking behavior.
So long, free and open society. Must have been nice, when it existed.
I was actually curious to hear your take on veteran medical benefits.
Everyone agrees and understands that the shared risk pool theory (Gubmint programs like Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, indigent insurance charity care) leads to coercion to change behaviors in the absence of a free market to charge more to higher risk folks.
