Curious. You did not draw a distinction between present MA–with the benchmark bidding, vs a more open system as proposed.
Putting the merits of competition aside, the difference can mean the difference between savings and not. You did not highlight that in the piece–and its an important distinction if one believes this approach may succeed.
