One of America's best ideas. Laboratories of democracy. Maybe it works.. maybe not. But the rest of us learn from whatever happens.


NY currently greatly restricts how health insurers can discriminate on price based on age to the point that age basically isn't a factor. But most states allow for a ~3x price difference based on age. The other state with a similar rule, Vermont, has a form of single payer insurance as well


It's the federal Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that limits price discrimination based on age to 3×. A few states do compress that even further.

"Single payer" is just another word for Monopoly. It's insane anyone thinks this is a good idea. Just Google "quebec/canada healthcare crisis"
