      That would be nice, but I can’t see lobbyist allowing it. It state power really essential?

      Maybe s co-operative insurance company could fit inside the current framework without legislative change.

      (Obviously, I’m just spitballing here)

        Yeah, it could fit in the current framework so I guess state power isn’t essential for creating it. State power is definitely essential to do things like negotiate drug pricing like Medicare does. We saw the power of that recently.

          The state certainly brings volume and that is leveraged for negotiations. There’s no way a new insurer could have that market share instantly.
