Buried in ACA is this obscure section I've never heard discussed.
The cliffnote is: Effective 1-1-17, states can institute single payer if they so choose, so long as they follow the guidance. ACA set the groundwork. High renewals, co-op failures, carriers pulling out, and the potential for millions of Americans to lose their insurance has created the motivation.
A half dozen states are at various points in the process of setting a plan up under this section.
Last Friday, 9/16/16, 33 senators (including all of the senate leadership) signed a non-binding resolution to add a public option to ACA.
