This is a real concern for me because people credit the ACA with making a big dent in the healthcare problem here in the US, but it feels more like it just created a massive legal protection for these exploitative middlemen when the necessary solution was to blow up the entire industry with a true public option that could out-compete every profit-driven money-extraction system by simply not being profit-driven.
Not every system becomes more efficient with profit incentives, and this really seems like just such a case.
