The Medicare article appears to advocate in favor of guaranteed issue for all Gap plans, and wonders what effect this would have on premiums. But nowhere does it mention that we already know the answer, which is that Gap premiums are doubled or tripled in guaranteed issue states such as New York. The only question is whether the New York experience should be replicated in the rest of the country.
From the red meat column: “As for significance at the p ≤ 0.05, only 4% (or 48 specifications) were statistically significant.”
Quite the coincidence. Too bad it wasn’t exactly 5%.
