A cool thing about allowing purchase across state lines and private pooling (health insurance) is that it achieves the same risk-diluting benefit that single-payer does without the negatives of single-payer. The new executive order is supposed to help do that, but we'll see.

Examples in other places say you are wrong, but let's hope you are right.

What we need is something that incentivizes bypassing insurance altogether. Then we'd get prices up front and costs would plummet.

I don't follow. What do you mean?
