re: #217 Aceofwhat?

Okay. I think that’s penny-wise, but pound-foolish, for the reasons I gave above.

re: #219 Thanos

Then why doesn’t that market exist already? Why are there no insurers who cater to those who are poor, with pre-existing conditions?

There isn’t a natural market, ever, for those who will cost more than they will pay— as a group. Actuarial tables are used to identify those populations, and insurance companies have every incentive to exclude them.
