Hosted this week at Health Affairs, the weekly health-policy blog carnival gallantly links to Ted's post taking issue with a Studdert/Mello et al article (on "Sorry Works") in that very journal. Another highlight: two contributors at InsureBlog explain some of the drawbacks of "community rating" of health insurance, the equalization scheme (it prohibits underwriters from considering age and health status) currently in effect under the laws of New York and only three other states (ME, VT, NH).
