Insurance companies have a business model based on an ever-changing set of probabilities and risk. They make decisions that will both keep them in business and allow them to fulfill their contractual obligations. Zerocare, increases those “obligations” and attempts to restrict their ability to adjust their risk by imposing higher premiums.

I'm not sure there are limits on increased premiums. The constraint is that insurance companies must spend at least 80% of premiums on patient care. The problem here is that the federal budget covers any premium increases.

Pushed to the logical conclusion before it happens.

?

Private insurers.

Single payer option ?

Are established insurers this stupid ?

Have they been gamed ?

Did they read the bill ?
