I too used to work at a major health insurer in the region, in their pricing department. It's not evil work, it's absolutely crucial in order to make any sense at all out of anything.

I don't have all the answers. But letting insurers do what they think is best is not a solution I can get behind. Frankly, I think that a lot of the jobs around the healthcare industry should go away. PBM's, for example, are vultures that don't really serve much purpose besides making money for somebody not involved in any way with the actual care of the patient.

Edit - I recognize that this is probably somewhat naive, and if my past experience work with retirement planning teaches me anything it's that we'll probably have more jobs that are somewhat "unnecessary" under a government solution. I could support a heavily regulated but still "private" industry, but my concern there is that those regulations could be more easily peeled back than M4A could. Look at the banking industry post-recession. Regulations put into place, but not hard to remove them.
