Great read. Add to this the flattening, if not outright decline of ESI “cross subsidization” as well as the potential for dramatic escalation of non-labor expense at care sites (primarily hospitals) and there is a very, very nasty storm brewing.
Agree that this was a great read. Why will there be a decline in ESI cross subsidization? Provider payments have grown by single or double digits and commercial premiums have grown by 7% year on year. If anything, won't cutting medicaid add pressure to ESI?
Excellent Andrew! Shout it to the rooftops!
Bravo!

Andrew:
Thank you.
An excellent rebuttal!
