Serious question: can a non-profit or not-for-profit be the target of anti-trust / monopoly charges? If not, every for-profit health insurance provider is screwed. (Good riddance). https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/technology/amazon-berkshire-hathaway-jpmorgan-health-ca... cleverdevil.io

@cleverdevil why would this be subject to any monopoly charges? They've only set it up for their own employees.

@nitinkhanna they've stated that they're considering making it available to the general public.

@nitinkhanna and other large companies could join. With more and more scale, they'd achieve more risk distribution, and lower and lower costs.

@cleverdevil only if it becomes even a little bit successful (which I fully expect it to).

@cleverdevil well that's the argument for medical insurance companies all the way, right? The bigger they are, the better they'd be at lowering cost. I wonder if there's a way for the government to prevent monopoly there? Hmmm. If only there were some external way for the govt to control medical costs...

@cleverdevil I hope they knock it out of the park and induct two-three companies per year into the roster. Would be epic!
