Another thing to consider: you may be thrilled with your employer-provided insurance, but if you get sick enough to lose your job, guess what...
They will gladly take your money for years and decades, but if something really serious happens you are selectively removed, as most employers will just let people go if they are too sick to produce for them. |

To recap, California mandating EVs => statements about California having too many regulations => conversation about the benefits of more regulations versus less regulations => focusing on one category—healthcare.
Healthcare is one of those subjects that radiates with everyone. It affects everyone. It is a subject that is harder to apply normal economic/capitalistic principles. If I say I have a pill that can save your life then what is that worth to you? It is harder than quantifying a car or phone or TV. It is harder to quantify than the price for a hair cut, for an Uber ride or to have someone install a turbo kit on your car. If radiation could save your wife from cancer then what is that worth to you? If your child needs an emergency appendectomy for a ruptured appendix then what is that worth to you? If you have a hard time pricing out these items then congratulations you or whoever reading this is human. That is why healthcare is different. People will pay anything to have more time alive and with their loved ones and for their health, when it matters like this. This is why everyone has a vested interest in this conversation, and why we can’t treat it like any other industry. Healthcare at the hospital level and all the way to the pharmaceutical level requires a different approach. FWIW, the EV mandate is likely not necessary or going to happen, but it may encourage more development, investment and planning, which may accelerate us getting there even faster. I think we might get there through public interest that fast without the mandate, assuming there are the already planned investments in green utilities to support such a transition. In another 5-10 years, EVs will be cheaper and just be a better vehicle for the masses. The enthusiasts aside of course, but even some of them will change their tune.

Some states didn't set up their own exchanges. Some insurance providers wanted the ACA to fail. Some state’s governors didn’t support the ACA. California set up their exchanges: Quote:
The ACA was suppose to be the start—not some final solution. Single-payer is likely the final solution, but even if that is a state decision like California might do, states were suppose to adapt the programs to their specific markets. We see the difference in states that went all in. More have coverage. Outcomes are better. Costs are more controlled.

You are confusing VA insurance with VA medical services.

Well I’ve never used VA insurance without the VA medical. I’m not sure you can unless you have specialty care that the VA can’t handle - a rarity.
I don’t even think I’ve interacted with them. All of your insurance info is on file because it’s all taken care of in house.

Anyone can go to healthcare.gov and look through the available plans if you are really interested in them.
