That's one way of putting it. Another is that insurers, who are private corporations, don't want to be forced to take known losers on without compensation.

It's a kind of poison--as soon as the government forces them to take known losers, it forces them to ask the government to cover the obvious losses that are being forced upon them. In other words, once the government assigns some people to them at socialistic government determined rates, they are not completely free market entities.
