Your health insurance is inflated
now for the riskier patients, and for people with no insurance getting treatment.
You are paying for that right now, and always have been.
Wouldn't it be nice to stop doing that? I'm all for it. You want to keep paying for people with no insurance, go right ahead.
What will happen when your insurance company carries a few million more healthy people? Your rates will go down. What will happen when sick people buy insurance? They will pay more than well people. Like now.
Your assumption that all the 40 million who are currently uninsured in this country are riskier or sicker than you has no basis in reality.
