re: #281 Obdicut

I’m sorry, but that’s what actuarial tables do. You said that for every group that there’s a breakpoint for profit, right? So what if you can identify a group that will never make that breakpoint for profit?

If you can identify a group as having a medical condition that, on average, costs $2,000 a month to treat, how on earth are you going to make a profit off of providing them health insurance, if they can’t pay more than $2,000 a month for it?

Ok come back to reality. What group is that? I’m saying that there are demographic striae that could turn a profit and offer new markets, and now you are proposing theoretical groups that can’t make a profit. In reality “all retail workers” would make a great market. They tend to be young and healthier, while the elderly workers in the group would not sign up because they are covered by medicare.

In other words you are moving goal posts each time you get refuted and I”m done playing with you.
