If people are healthy, insurance companies would compete to insure them.

If they aren’t, you either create a risk pool for them or have the government take care of this segment through expanded Medicaid/Medicare.

And the insurance companies would be happy with it because they aren’t forced to pay for some sick guy. They’re in business to make a profit.

IOW, big government solutions. Under what provision of the Constitution does the federal government have authority to create a risk pool or provide health insurance to people?

I know we have been doing this for decades, but is it constitutional?

Just Askin.
