Tell me how this is not correct.

What Rand Paul just described for the Trumpcare is one step toward single payer with the private sector being the single payer without any subsidies. These HUGE groups that Paul was talking about sound mighty close to several "single payer" pools without government subsidies for the poor. Which also sounds like a backdoor way to several High Risk pools being formed, pricing very sick moderate income people out of the market. Correct me if I am wrong.

3. I think you are mistaken.

The proposal actually breaks the Obamacare individual insurance marketplace into smaller and smaller groups within each state. The young and healthy will be insured differently and more cheaply than the elderly and the sick. In addition, the cheaper policies the group pools employ will also have far less effective coverage.

4. And in effect that will make for more and more high-risk pools for all the others.

5. I think I initially misread your point. We are clearly in agreement.
