Can someone ELI5 how this works? When the state orders a private business to give its services away for free, does the state reimburse the business? Insurers can’t magically “waive” costs away any more than individuals can. What am I missing?

I dont think so. The state declared emergency and put on price controls. It's not free though, these people have insurance plans that were paid for.
