Might be, but it also crossed my mind that under Obamacare the government has incentives to NOT let people make informed guesses about their future health.
“The government” isn’t an agent and doesn’t respond to incentives. It is a whole bunch of different people with different careers and roles. I wouldn’t expect an FDA researcher, a naval officer, a State Department staffer, and a senator to have the same incentives regarding policy, for instance.
Which people do you think have an incentive like that?
