Well, for starters, two things come to mind:

1. The healthcare and health insurance marketplace is riddled with regulation. There is no such thing as offering a health insurance plan or a healthcare service in the United States absent any regulation. Every existing service is, more or less, imposed via regulation.

2. The current health insurance system dates, in its current form, either to shortly after WWII or to the adoption of the ACA, depending on your perspective. That’s somewhere between 14 and 75 years. Where are the plans you speak of from these entrepreneurs? What are they waiting for, letting all of this sweet, sweet, arbitrage pass them by? Biding their time? Toward what end?
