Just how did you come to this conclusion? I have no love for the ACA, but in fairness, it has absolutely nothing to do with medicare or medicare supplemental policies. You then go on to list the 4 largest supplemental insurance companies, that had the overwhelming majority of market share both before and after ACA. The reason these companies have that market share is because CONSUMERS BUY them, not "the feds". They fill a niche, and therefore they sell their product. This may be the clearest example of the free market ay work in the whole mess
Even in the non-medicare market, about 12 million have signed up under ACA, but 7 million lost their coverage in the individual market, net gain = 5 million. In a country of 330 million, do you think this is a tremendous increase in market share? And you didn't think all the insurers have tremendous power over the care you receive both before after ACA?
