Reply #8: Minuscule pools that no few can access or large pool that everyone can join

hmmm...which one is better?

For the average person this is probably the best deal yet if they will actually negotiate for drug pricing and services. I'm far from sold but on the surface this seems like something that will actually function and avoid a public plan that is nothing but a place for big insurance to dump the people they won't be bothered to serve. Of course they must remove the anti-trust exemptions for this to have a shot as well as put in proper oversight with some teeth but this could end up something that will actually help a lot of people and construct some fashion of a structure that we can live under.

If they make decent tradeoffs this one is coming, I suspect that a plan that gives everyone the option of a plan just like Congress/Federal Employees will gain overwhelming support. If Congress agrees to take their coverage from the new plan then this one will have like 70+ percent approval.
