However, state level control, regardless how miserly could be its benefits at its inception, might be, through thoughtful, aggressive, and successful lobbying by citizenry through their legislators, turned into a set of premium plans customizable for the nearly individual needs of various groups of Idahoans.

Insurance, especially public insurance, need not be considered only delivered engraved on stone tablets. Insurance is embodied within contracts, and contracts have at least two parties, and those parties can negotiate the contents of their contracts.
