The other three bids it received each called for greater levels of additionalsubsidy or a smaller amount of development, along with other risks, according to people briefed on the proposals.
But as a matter of simple arithmetic, if the banks don't lose and Greece gains, there must be an additionalsubsidy in there somewhere from eurozone governments, either in the "high-quality assets" provided as a back up or, possibly, the promise of preferential treatment for these new bonds in the event of a default.
And with many plans raising premiums, as Prindiville says, an estimated 2.5 million people will have to switch plans in order to keep getting all of that additional government subsidy.
