(25,035 posts)At some point folks will wrap their heads around the idea that the only way the insurance cartel has anything beyond medium length, at best, viability is a captured customer base and lots of subsidies.
The fantasy that the insurance cartel would be free to chug along until it consumed the entire economy is insane.
People are always hollering about twenty and 60 years and it has mad zero sense how such a thing would be possible, much less profitable without subsidies and a mandate.
Believing in magic makes more sense, it would seem like folks would get an inkling from the CBO projections of cost and coverage before this effort that were used to justify it but that shit went into the circular file as soon as that phase was over.
Anyway...
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
The criminal cartel has been preserved for another generation and they have been given a key to the treasury.
