What if it can’t?

That's what public policy debates are about. We need to fix this problem. In some states, high-risk pool's work. In others, they don't.

As waiting for CBO to score these things? Not rushin it w/o input from advocacy groups or medical groups? Seems obvious, why is it so hard?

The overwhelming evidence is that this won't happen. It has been tried and failed multiple times. Pooling the sick together increases costs.

Just like every other type of insurance. Ridiculous if you think your premiums don't go up to cover other drivers with accidents.

Hasn't this been tried before? Assuming it's possible, shouldn't we wait for OMB scorecard, other evidence to show whether it will work?

State high risk pools fail and are just subsidies for private insurance companies. Why not just put people with pre-ex on Medicare?
-
Or alternately, tell insurance companies that their job is to insure people, and if they cant stay in business doing that, they should fail?

@smenor what do we mean "no parent"? What if the treatment costs a billion dollars? A trillion? Gotta be some limiting factor. -
my bad, thought it was a special type of needle

It is. One that costs a quintillion dollars.

If that happens, great. Based on the actual track record of high risk pools, I wouldn't bet on it.

Yeah because that's what we want, just adequate care. Also, there's no way that will actually happen.

That would be nice. But the downside risk if it doesn't is horrific. I'd want strong evidence that states' high-risk pools actually would.

I'm driving a car & see that the front right tire is flat. What do I do? Sell it and buy a horse drawn carriage? Nope. I fix it! Cmon Matt.

You being hired by CNN: NOT THE RIGHT MOVE. I hope they take away your healthcare.

They won't work because the Republicans won't fund the pools adequately. They need the fiscal room for MOAR TAX CUTS!
