Paradigming Is Hard
Too many ways to be slightly stupid.As far as I can tell this is the crux of the political fights:
"So how do you do useful economics? In general, what we really do is combine maximization-and-equilibrium as a first cut with a variety of ad hoc modifications reflecting what seem to be empirical regularities about how both individual behavior and markets depart from this idealized case. And people using this kind of rough-and-ready approach have done really well since 2008, on everything from inflation to interest rates to the effects of austerity."
I do not have a professional knowledge of economics.
Any guesses and bets I make are a personal risk.
I tell you my best guess. That is the truth of it.
The news is full of noise and opinion.
Much of it with ulterior motives.

If you want to have community rating without a death spiral — that is, if you want to keep an acceptable risk pool — you have to have an individual mandate. If you want to have an individual mandate, you have to have subsidies for lower-income Americans. And that’s Obamacare: a three-legged stool, with all three legs essential"Obamacare looks the way it does because it has to.
I am signed up for Medicare A&B.
