Although this is under Obamacare exchanges, it shows that state-run exchanges can effectively control the cost of premiums. A state that has efficiently and effectively controlled the health insurance markets is California. Through their state-run exchanges, California has managed to control the type and price of care provided by setting up a system that required all health insurers to provide the same deductibles and benefits within each of their coverage levels (Scheffler, Para. 7). Their plan is set up so that “insurers in all marketplaces must offer a defined set of “essential health benefits” in all plans and may offer plans at four coverage levels: platinum…followed in descending order of cost and coverage benefits by gold, silver, and bronze. ”(Scheffler, Para. 7)

The US has grappled with many questions about society’s obligations as to whether or not to offer services and benefits to the men and women in the armed forces. Supporters argue that helping veterans will help the society as whole and opponents argue that we shouldn’t be increasing our federal government spending in repaying veterans. Although I do see where people can argue that we are spending too much money on helping veterans after war, I believe that the government owes them for what they have done for the country, despite the cost. The government owes certain benefits to veterans because the men and women in the armed forces deserve to be welcomed home with a generous system of services for what they have done for the country. Helping veterans goes way back all the way to the 1600s.

Veterans are the retired military personnel who have fought for the nation's freedom and the rights of people, during this fight sometimes they go through tragic events that could haunt them when they get out, also known as PTSD, so their medicare plan should cover PTSD support. Retired troops have witnessed a multitude of negative and traumatic events, whether that's losing a brother or sister of arms, getting wounded, or having to take a shot at someone else. These things could cause PTSD, a disorder where a person could undergo nightmares, heat sweats, public fears, or even thoughts and completion of suicide.
