Only competition in all the states among the healthcare providers and among the healthcare insurance companies will bring down the cost of medical care for consumers in the United States, and insurance companies won’t do business in states where they can’t make money, so they must be allowed to insure whom they please, free to reject high risk people who can’t afford the premiums which the actuarial tables require for profitability. Those high risk folks depend on government for help with their medical needs, outside the free marketplace, so federal government money now spent to subsidize insurance premiums payed by the high risk folks will go instead to the high risk “insurance” pool, those who could be served by non profits working with the government.
