“Isn’t that the point of insurance? To spread out the costs and the risk?”
With the pre-existing condition mandate, there is ONLY cost and risk, no reward for the companies. Also, those companies aren’t charities. They need to be held accountable to their shareholders.
Get the gubmint out, or else the gubmint will be the single payer. These mandates are just evil.

You do realize that insurance companies are and always have been quasi government agencies, right? When they exist on their own without regulation they always take short term profit over long term safety and tend to blow up when they frequently bet wrong. So they’re already regulated to death and are not freemarket.

Could you sell that to the voters? It going to sound really heartless. If you can’t convince people then pushing that view will just harm our cause.
