“In a little-noticed outcome of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, jails and prisons around the country are beginning to sign up inmates for health insurance under the law, taking advantage of the expansion of Medicaid that allows states to extend coverage to single and childless adults — a major part of the prison population.”
I’m pretty sure all inmates had health insurance already

“Second, we need more transparency. Insurance companies should have to publish the measures they use to select their “high performing” or “efficient” networks.

The points he make are necessary, but choice is also extremely important component to cheaper healthcare
